Kiyomizu ware Handmade Matcha bowl Grey

清水焼 (Kiyomizu-yaki) Kiyomizu ware is a type of Kyō ware traditionally from Gojōzaka district near the Kiyomizu Temple, in Kyoto.

The history of Kiyomizu ware dates back to the 16th century.

This Matcha bowl is made by a Japanese craftsman 林山 Rinzan.  Their kiln was established in the Meiji era 1889 and it is now the 4th generation.  They are manufacturing ceramics not only for convenience to use in every day life but also to enrich our lives.  They use a wide variety of glazes that cannot be found anywhere else to express colorful hues.

This bowl features a purple grey colour with a beautiful darker colour around the bowl.

At the back of the bowl, there is a stamp of ‘林山’ Rinzan Kiln.

We also have sake cups from the same kiln.
