椀 Owan / Bowl 009

The Perfect Form: A Plump Vessel for Matcha Rituals and Daily Tranquility.

Owan 009 is beautifully shaped for frothing and drinking Matcha, though it is equally perfect for enjoying a Café Latte. Its inviting, plump form enhances your tea time, creating a moment of relaxation and sophisticated artistry.

Key Features & Design

• Ideal for Matcha: The plump, rounded form is perfectly suited for preparing and enjoying Matcha, designed to be comfortable and calming in the hands.
• Deep Contrast and Depth: Built upon an iron-rich red clay base, the bowl is finished with a vibrant Turkish Blue glaze. The subtle visibility of the red clay beneath the blue glaze creates a rich sense of depth and complexity.
• Multipurpose Use: The deep color of the glaze elegantly showcases any beverage or food, making it an excellent piece for both traditional tea and modern drinks like Café Latte.
• Refined Finish: The entire surface is hand-polished after being fired at 1230℃, resulting in a distinctive, tactile texture and subtle sheen.

Important Care Instructions

• Do NOT use in a dishwasher, microwave oven, or oven.
• The bowl / vase is suitable for hot items, but please avoid pouring boiling water directly into a heavily chilled vessel, as the thermal shock may occasionally cause cracking.
• After washing, completely drain the water and allow the piece to air dry thoroughly (ideally in a cool, shaded place) to prevent mold or cracking.
• Stacking: While it is ideal to store the pieces without stacking, if you must stack them, please do so carefully with similar sizes and curves to avoid undue stress on the pottery.
• Color Change (Patina): The ceramic surface will naturally change color over time. Dark liquids such as soy sauce or coffee may stain the surface if left in the item for long periods
•  Stain Removal: If staining is a concern, soaking the item in an oxygen-based bleach may help remove the stains (use at your own risk).
