Handcrafted Heart-Shaped Matcha Bowl

This handcrafted heart-shaped matcha bowl from isshiki matcha is a hand-thrown chawan made in New York City in collaboration with ceramic artist Marina Caspe. Inspired by traditional Japanese ceramics, each bowl is shaped, glazed, and finished by hand, so no two are exactly alike. The wide, heart-shaped form gives a chasen plenty of room to whisk a smooth, frothy matcha.
