Large Kohiki Spouted Matcha Bowl
This large pouring chawan (matcha bowl) features a wide and deep shape for easy whisking and has a spout for serving usucha to multiple guests, or for making lattes. It is made in the classic Kohiki (粉引) style, thrown from an iron-rich red clay and covered in white slip.
Kohiki is a traditional slipware ceramic style from 15th century Korea. In an attempt to create an affordable mimicry of Chinese white porcelain, iron-rich clay was dipped in white slip (liquified clay) and covered with a translucent ash glaze. Korean kohiki chawan were brought to Japan, where they were revered as masterpieces (名物) by tea masters. Recently, this rustic style has seen a resurgence in popularity owing to its timeless, natural elegance. Compared to the harsh white of porcelain, kohiki vessels have a soft, warm, and organic feel.
