This modern interpretation of a traditional chawan by Barry Braun at Swallowtail Pottery has straight sidewalls, unlike the Matcha Bowl Michigan Sand and Matcha Bowl Tenmoku, which feature an indented thumbprint. The simple yet bold form is meant to highlight the artful glaze and create a perfect shape for whisking matcha.
Quail Egg is a soft grayish matte glaze, accentuated by muted purple tones and delicate brown speckles. The malleable nature of the glaze creates unique variations from piece to piece, ensuring that each handmade bowl is truly one of a kind!
This bowl is part of our collection of American-made teaware. With a shape and weight that is pleasing to the hand and mouth, our matcha bowls are not only perfect for preparing organic matcha but are also dishwasher and microwave safe (just like our other matcha bowl designs). All glazes are non-toxic and lead-free.
Please note: because each matcha bowl is individually handmade, variations in shape and color do occur and are celebrated!
