This handcrafted Katakuchi Chawan is made by artisans in Kusatsu, Shiga province, Japan, using a traditional three-layer glazing technique. The iron-rich clay base gently surfaces through a layer of white slip, creating a softly crackled, cream-toned finish, sealed with a smooth, transparent glaze.

Light and high-quality, its broad base makes whisking effortless, and the spout makes pouring seamless. A one-of-a-kind piece, it carries both practicality and the quiet elegance of Japanese craftsmanship—meant to be cherished for years to come.

Also available as part of a full ritual set or paired with a matching latte cup.
