Review on 🍡 Authentic Mino Japanese Pottery Style Matcha Ceramic Tea Bowl for Traditional Tea Ceremony and Everyday Use - Lead-Free, Handcrafted in Japan, White with Blue-Rimmed Design by Patty Yenbamroong

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This is a tea bowl but I expected more

Yes this is a bowl of the size that could be used for matcha tea at a tea ceremony but it doesn't meet my expectations. Here's what I see in that bowl: 1) Is it real? Hmm, it was probably made in Japan, but there's no proof of that. The shell was thrown by hand, evidenced by small protrusions during the throwing process. However, there is no pottery brand. Therefore, authenticity is not guaranteed. 2) Is this the quality used in the tea ceremony? This bowl is clearly not of the quality I expected from a country where the master potter is considered a national treasure. The icing on the shell is not of high quality with small lumps and other traces. It was applied carelessly and is missing from most of the floor. 3) The wall of the bowl is uneven, varies within a centimeter or more. The shell itself is not round. This bowl can be used for matcha tea but I think it lacks quality.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Some difficulties
