Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl - 450ml
Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl - 450ml
The Momoyama Red Crackle Matcha Bowl beautifully embodies the rustic elegance of Japanese tea culture. Its vivid red glaze is accentuated by delicate crackle patterns (kannyū), a hallmark of traditional Japanese pottery that symbolizes the beauty of imperfection and time. The warm red tones evoke the bold and expressive spirit of the historical Momoyama period.
Each bowl is handcrafted, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The gently curved, asymmetrical form fits comfortably in the hands, making it ideal for whisking and savouring matcha, while the natural crackle texture adds depth and individuality—an artful reflection of wabi-sabi aesthetics. It is perfect for traditional tea ceremonies, daily matcha enjoyment, or as a striking decorative piece.

About the Momoyama Style
The Momoyama period (1573–1615) was a dynamic era in Japanese history, known for its bold and opulent artistic expression. In pottery, this period saw the flourishing of tea ceremony wares that moved away from perfect forms, embracing rustic textures, expressive glazes, and the wabi-sabi aesthetic of asymmetrical beauty, as seen in this bowl's design.
