Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl & Whisk Set - 450ml
Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl and Whisk Set - 450ml
The Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl and Whisk Set beautifully captures the bold yet refined spirit of Japanese tea culture. The vivid red glaze is accentuated by delicate crackle patterns (kannyū), symbolising the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time. Inspired by the expressive aesthetics of the historical Momoyama period, this set blends traditional artistry with functional design for an authentic tea experience.
Each bowl is handcrafted, ensuring no two are exactly alike. The asymmetrical, gently curved form fits comfortably in your hands, perfect for whisking and savouring matcha. Paired with a natural bamboo chasen (whisk), this set embodies the essence of wabi-sabi — finding harmony in simplicity, imperfection, and nature.

About the Momoyama Style
The Momoyama period (1573–1615) was a dynamic era in Japanese history, renowned for its bold artistic expression. Pottery from this time celebrated rustic textures, expressive glazes, and asymmetrical forms that embodied wabi-sabi — the appreciation of imperfection and impermanence. The Momoyama Red Crackle bowl continues this legacy, blending vivid colour with traditional crackle glazing to create a timeless tea piece.
