A soft, rounded Matcha bowl with a gentle flower-like shape and a beautiful clear crackle glaze, known as kannyū . The fine network of lines gives it a quiet depth—like still water catching light—and lets the warmth of the clay show through just enough.
It feels calm and balanced in the hands, and there’s something really special about how the glaze came out on this one. Perfect for matcha, or just for slowing down with something warm.
Product Details

Due to the nature of the crackle glaze (kannyū), the fine lines may develop subtle staining over time, especially with tea. This natural patina becomes part of the bowl’s story, but if you prefer to keep the glaze looking light and clear, it’s best to rinse the bowl soon after use.
If you want to protect the crackle more actively, you can occasionally rub the surface with a gentle baking soda paste and rinse well.
Why You’ll Love It
The name Kannyū refers to the delicate network of fine cracks in the glaze—something once accidental, now deeply loved in Japanese ceramic tradition. These gentle lines form as the piece cools, capturing a moment in time. A quiet kind of beauty.
The clear glaze allows the natural warmth of the clay to come through, while the flower-like rim gives the bowl a softness that feels both organic and intentional.
Made for matcha, but just as fitting for holding space, breath, and intention. Simple, soulful, and deeply tactile.
Every piece you see here is handmade by me in my studio. The name IKKAI means one time because no two pieces are ever exactly the same. I love creating ceramics that bring a little beauty and warmth into everyday moments.
