A handcrafted Japanese oil-spot Tenmoku bowl — known for its shimmering glaze and rich tea heritage. Perfect for elevating your matcha moments.
Timeless Elegance in Every Sip
This exquisite black matcha chawan is more than a tea bowl — it's a quiet celebration of balance, depth, and Japanese craftsmanship.
Hand-thrown and finished in a deep, lustrous Tenmoku glaze, the surface reveals subtle texture, tiny iron speckles, and a gentle ash gradient along the rim — a nod to the wood-fired kilns of Japanese tradition.
Its irregular silhouette is intentional: a reflection of wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection and authenticity. Whether you're whisking ceremonial-grade matcha or displaying it as an art piece, this bowl invites stillness and presence.

What is Jianzhan teaware?
It’s a special kind of teacup with iron-rich glaze. When fired, the glaze creates beautiful patterns like oil spots or streaks. No two are ever the same! -
Is it food safe?
Yep — 100% safe to use with food or drink. -
Does it contain lead?
The clay comes from natural earth, so it may have tiny traces — but under 0.01%, way below safety limits. We don’t add any lead. The glaze is made from natural iron ore and wood ash only. -
Do you ship worldwide?
Sure do! We ship to the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, South Africa, the Middle East — and more. -
