Description
Made by the same studio as our Cosmo and Origin series teaware, these spouted matcha bowls blend a simple and balanced aesthetic with the organic feel that only wood firing can provide. The spout makes it easy to pour whisked tea into a cup or for sharing, or the bowl can be used on its own.
The calligraphy is from Bai Juyi’s (白居易) Tang dynasty poem Brewing Tea with Spring Water, Thinking of Someone (山泉煎茶有怀):
坐酌泠泠水，看煎瑟瑟尘。无由持一碗，寄与爱茶人。
Sitting, I ladle the cold, clear spring; I watch jade-green tea dust come to a boil. With no way to hold out a bowl, I would send it to a fellow tea lover.
The “tea dust” is literal – during this period of Chinese tea, tea cakes were roasted and ground into a fine powder, then boiled in water, most suitable for a matcha bowl.

This series of teaware follows a few trends that we seem to have gravitated towards over our years of seeking out new studios and pieces. Developed and produced by a couple in Jingdezhen, their work is the product of much experimentation with glazes and production methods. In this case, the results are pieces that are simple, yet refined, blending traditional and modern styling. These pieces are easy to appreciate when used together, but also complement whatever else might be on the tea table.
Similar to their teaware, the couple themselves are down to earth and calm. Aside from ceramics, they also enjoy wood working and crafting various things to give away to friends. And while we’ve enjoyed good tea with other artists in Jingdezhen, truly good raw puer is still not that common within the community. This made it quite the surprise when they brewed what, in our opinion, was some of the best stored and best tasting puer we’ve had outside of Yunnan. That alone earns serious points with us.
