Gifu Chawan (Bowl)
Description
Crafted in the Mino region of Japan, this chawan reflects centuries of ceramic tradition rooted in quiet expression and natural imperfection. With its soft glaze and earthy undertones, the bowl carries a grounded presence that elevates the matcha ritual into a moment of stillness. Its gently rounded form sits comfortably in the hands, while subtle variations in glaze, texture, and tone ensure that each piece is entirely unique. Both functional and contemplative, this chawan invites a slower, more intentional way of preparing and enjoying tea.
Origin
Made in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan’s most influential ceramic centres. With a pottery tradition dating back over 1,300 years, Mino is known for its expressive glazes and natural textures that embody the spirit of Japanese tea culture.
Care
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Avoid dishwashers or microwaves to preserve the glaze and texture. Let it air dry completely before storing.
