Turquoise blue chawan matcha raku artisan tea mug for Japanese store tea ceremonies

store This hand made, hand fired matcha ceremonial tea mug fits perfectly in the hand, to warm the heart and fill the soul. The process takes weeks, from the potters wheel to the kiln, to the decoration and finally ending with the dramatic act of raku kiln firing-an ancient Japanese technique of removing the piece from a kiln of 1000 degrees Celsius, and dipping it in sawdust where it bursts into flames. Fire, water, earth and air all come together to bring you this magical vessel.

Your tea bowl haiku:
Tea
Born of earthly flame
Hands and earth speaking with fire
What is desire now?
