Japanese Haoto Katakuchi Matcha Bowl, Gosu Glazed
Meet the Japanese Haoto Katakuchi Matcha Bowl, wheel-thrown by Takumi Kudo of Minami Gama in Toki City, Japan.
On a white surface reminiscent of plaster, gosu (cobalt blue) and rust pigment are delicately brushed to evoke a calm so serene it feels as though you can hear leaves rustling in the wind.
The spouted lip adds a quiet functionality, allowing matcha or tea to pour smoothly into smaller vessels.
Each bowl comes beautifully wrapped in a beige cloth and packaged in a paulownia wood box, stamped with gold-colored SALIU Japan branding.
Dimensions: W 5.5” (14 cm) × L 5.1” (13 cm) × H 3” (7.5 cm)
