mashiko ceramic bowl

This elegant footed winter tea bowl was made by Otsuka Mitsio, a mashiko pottery artisan. The bowls thick walls and curved lip to help retain heat, making it a great option for drinking hot beverages. The softly speckled matte glaze is smooth to the touch. 

Mashiko pottery is made in the town of Mashiko, Japan. Home to over 300 skilled potters, Mashiko is known for producing rustic and earthy ceramics and has a tradition of producing household objects with a pleasing form and function - producing beautiful pieces for everyday use.

Each piece of mashiko is made by hand. Your piece may vary slightly from the photos.
