This spouted chawan (matcha bowl) features a wide, open shape for easy whisking and inward-sweeping walls that prevent matcha from splashing over the sides. The bowl is decorated in a style called kurokinsai (黒金彩 - black gold), with a matte black base with bronze-gold highlights in a design of grasses.
Made by Shōmura Kanji (正村寛治) of Shōtōen (正陶苑).
