Oribe Brown Matcha Bowl

This Oribe Brown Matcha Bowl is handcrafted by a skilled artisan, with a full, gently rounded form that rests naturally in the hands. Both inside and out, it is coated in a rich Oribe glaze whose depth of green reveals quiet sophistication. The subdued, earthy tone carries a distinctly beautiful elegance without excess, refined yet warm.

A base coat of Kizeto glaze—a pale yellow glaze unique to Mino ware— is first applied, followed by layers of Oribe glaze brushed by hand, creating soft gradations of green and amber that recall natural landscapes. The clay, known for its subtle tone and texture, responds uniquely to the fire, allowing tranquil beauty to emerge through both process and form. 

Cupped in shape, the bowl opens gently outward, creating a sense of calm invitation as it rests between the palms. Its curved walls guide the whisk with ease, while the glossy surface captures the vibrant green of matcha. Presented in an elegant box, it makes a graceful gift or a contemplative companion for moments of tea.
