This stoneware katakuchi bowl is made using the Kohiki technique — a layer of porcelain slip over black clay, creating a soft, muted white surface with depth and subtle texture. The interior is fully glazed for functionality, while the exterior carries the quiet character of the slip. Hand-thrown with a spout and fired at 1230ºC, the bowl balances everyday use with a contemplative presence.
The spout design allows for a clean, controlled pour, making it especially suited for preparing and serving matcha.
Handcrafted in Harrogate, each piece reflects a blend of Japanese tradition and the natural tones of the Yorkshire landscape.
Every bowl is one of a kind, with gentle variations in slip, form, and finish.
Features:
• Approximate size: D 13cm × H 7cm
• Handmade in the UK
• Food-safe glazes (interior fully glazed)
• Dishwasher and microwave safe (hand washing recommended for longevity)
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking
