Matsuoka Mizuki Matcha Bowl

This is a matcha bowl by Mizuki Matsuoka. It's a unique and pleasant-to-the-touch vessel made of unglazed porcelain with a polished finish. Matsuoka's works are captivating for their quiet sculptural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted, valuing the expansive interior of the vessel, how it feels in the hand, and the beauty of its negative space. Her unglazed pieces make the most of the clay's natural texture, while her ash glazes change beautifully with use. Among these, her series of white vessels with silver gilding stands out for its delicate beauty. Precautions for use: Sealing: Tea stains may occur. We recommend sealing the vessel to keep it clean.
