Kyo Ware Matcha Latte Pouring Bowl (Katakuchi) – Star Crystal Glaze

Experience the beauty of traditional Kyoto craftsmanship with this elegant Katakuchi Matcha Latte Pouring Bowl by Tōan, a renowned Kyoto pottery studio established in 1922.

Finished with Tōan's signature Star Crystal Glaze (Hoshi-Kesshō), this bowl features delicate, star-like crystal patterns that naturally form during the firing process. As light reflects across the surface, the crystalline glaze reveals a subtle sparkle and remarkable depth. Unlike the softer, rounded appearance of Flower Crystal glazes, Star Crystal is distinguished by its sharp, radiant formations, making every piece truly unique.

The traditional katakuchi (spouted) design provides smooth, drip-free pouring, making it perfect for preparing matcha lattes, whisking matcha, or serving sauces and dressings. Its elegant design is suitable for everyday use, casual tea gatherings, or formal tea ceremonies.

Each bowl is individually handcrafted, ensuring that no two crystal patterns are ever alike.
