A soft matte glaze envelops the surface, while select areas of raw porcelain remain exposed, highlighting the material’s natural texture and tonal variation. The contrast between glazed and unglazed surfaces celebrates the character of the clay rather than concealing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtfully proportioned for preparing and serving matcha, the bowl's open form provides ample space for whisking, allowing the tea to develop a smooth, velvety froth. Once prepared, matcha can be enjoyed directly from the bowl in the traditional manner, creating a seamless connection between preparation and ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eø 5 in x 2.9 in T\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than four centuries, the town of Hasami has been one of Japan’s most celebrated centers of porcelain production, where generations of artisans have refined techniques rooted in both utility and beauty. Today, Tokyo Saikai builds on this legacy by partnering with local kilns and internationally recognized designers, creating collections that preserve the region’s craft while introducing it to a modern audience.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ha collection, developed with designer Sebastian Bergne, reflects this thoughtful exchange between tradition and innovation. Familiar forms such as tea cups, bowls, spouted bowls, and bamboo whisks are carefully reimagined with restrained proportions and contemporary detailing, resulting in pieces that feel at once traditional and refined. By looking forward while remaining grounded in Hasami’s rich ceramic heritage, the collection offers a fresh expression of Japanese tea culture for the modern table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab content2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelain, Glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eslight variations should be expected and are normal for this type of ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishwasher safe\u003cbr\u003e\nMicrowave safe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab content3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns must be made within 2 weeks in original, unused condition with all packaging for either 1.
