Handmade Japanese Matcha Bowl - NAMARI Chawan

Setoguro Handmade Matcha Chawan

Handcrafted by an artisan in Seto, one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns dating back to the 1500s, this Chawan embodies centuries of ceramic tradition and quiet refinement.

Its deep black and silvery glaze, known as Setoguro (瀬戸黒), originated in the Seto region during the 16th century and remains one of Japan’s most celebrated iron-rich glazes. The subtle metallic sheen catches light gently, revealing layers of depth and warmth in every viewing.

Formed in the traditional wan-nari (wooden bowl) shape, the bowl features a soft curve that rises gracefully from the foot to the lip. This round, comforting form sits naturally in the hand, providing both visual harmony and an ideal vessel for whisking and enjoying matcha.

Each piece is individually wheel-thrown and hand-glazed, ensuring that no two are ever the same.
