Tenmoku Color Stripe Chawanmushi Bowl

Enjoy delicious chawanmushi, Japanese steamed egg custard with your favorite ingredients at home with this beautiful Arita ware Chawanmushi bowl from Tasei Kiln. 

Tenmoku is a ceramic glaze known for its characteristic glossy and very dark colors such as deep brown or maroon, primarily attributed to its iron-bearing composition. Set against the backdrop of the Tenmoku glaze, a ribbon adorned in a spectrum of soft colors swirls, with patches of gold enhancing its allure.

The lid rests nicely on the bowl, and the handle on the lid makes it easy to lift. Without its lid, the bowl can also be used as a small Kobachi bowl to serve appetizers or side dishes.
