New Black Raku Ware Matcha Tea Bowl With stamp Diameter: 11.5 cm Height: 8.7 cm Raku ware is a soft, glazed pottery made using the "tenezune" technique, which involves shaping the clay only with hands and spatulas, without using a potter's wheel. First Raku, Second Hagi, Third Karatsu: It is highly regarded in the world of tea ceremony, so much so that it is listed at the top of "First Raku, Second Hagi, Third Karatsu," which has been said among tea masters as a ranking of tea bowls since ancient times. Firing method: Black Raku tea bowls are fired at high temperatures for a short time, and when they are taken out of the kiln, they are held with tongs, so the marks of the tongs are also one of the characteristic "scenery". There are parts that look like scratches, but they are the original texture due to being handmade. The box is dirty. Please purchase with understanding of home storage. Other tea ceremony items include three sets of tea ceremony utensils.
