Matcha Bowl - Ume Series #03

This Matcha Bowl is something special. A fresh series and a brand-new color, inspired by the Japanese Ume blossom — one of the first flowers to bloom in early spring. Just like the ume, which symbolizes resilience and renewal, this bowl carries the same spirit of quiet beauty and strength. Its rounded shape with flowing ridges and a wide, trimmed foot gives it a grounded, sculptural feel — made to sit comfortably in your hands as part of your daily ritual.

Product Details

• Shape: Rounded form with flowing ridges and a wide, trimmed foot for balance
• Size: 6.5cm height x 11cm diameter
• Capacity: Approx. 450ml
• Finish: Glossy pink glaze with soft variation, highlighting the ridged texture

Because each bowl is handmade on my wheel, there may be slight variations in shape, size, or glaze from the photo. These small differences are what make every piece one of a kind and full of character.

Please note: The matcha whisk, spoon, and whisk holder are not included, but can be added to complete your tea setup.

Why You’ll Love It

I wanted to create a piece that felt lively, fresh, and full of personality—just like the first blooms after winter. The bold ridges give it a sculptural quality, while the soft pink glaze adds warmth and energy. There’s something really joyful about it — like a little celebration in your hands.

Since each bowl is made by hand, no two are exactly alike—just like nature intended. Whether you're enjoying matcha in the morning or winding down in the evening, this bowl is designed to bring a sense of calm, colour, and care to your daily ritual.
