A Kiyomizu ware tea bowl (chawan) featuring the Kikko (tortoiseshell) crystal glaze in gray. The beautiful glassy surface — with its jewel-like crystalline patterns — is formed naturally through the process of melting and cooling the glaze during firing, making each piece entirely unique. The understated gray tone lends this bowl a quiet, refined elegance. As each piece is handmade, colors and patterns may vary subtly. Not microwave-safe or dishwasher-safe. What is Kiyomizu Ware? Kiyomizu Ware is one of Kyoto's most celebrated traditional crafts, known for its exceptional decorativeness and variety of styles. Unlike many regional ceramics, it has no fixed aesthetic — instead embracing a wide range of techniques and expressions. This freedom of style is what makes Kiyomizu Ware so distinctive and enduring. 【Specification】・Material: Ceramic・Size: Φ12.5 × H7.5 cm・Not microwave-safe, not dishwasher-safe・Weight: 410 g・Made in Japan Product Type: KITCHEN AND DININGCollection: TEA CEREMONY > MATCHA BOWLCollection: KIYOMIZU WARE
