Handmade Mino Ware Matcha Bowl – Hyogin Aqua

The Yuki-iwa Matcha Bowl is defined by contrast — a rough, stone-like exterior that gives way to a vivid aqua interior, handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture using 400 years of Mino ware tradition.

Part of the Yuki-iwa (“snow rock”) series, the Hyogin Aqua colorway offers a clear, luminous light blue interior that contrasts beautifully with the deep green of freshly whisked matcha. Crafted by Cesa Beams, a Tokyo-based kitchenware brand born in Kappabashi Dogukai, and practical enough for daily use. Made in Japan.

About This Piece

• Handmade by craftsmen: Every step of production is done by hand. Slight variations in size and weight are inherent to the process.
• Individual character: No two pieces are identical. Subtle differences in form and finish are a mark of authentic handcraft — not a defect.
• Natural glaze variation: Season, weather, kiln placement, and natural glaze ingredients all influence the final appearance. Pinholes and minor glaze pooling on the surface are characteristic of fine porcelain and pass strict quality inspection.
• Color accuracy: Colors may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions.
• Safety: All glazes and materials are free from harmful chemical substances.
