Purple Lichen
Purple Lichen
Our favorite tea bowls act like extensions of the hand, vessels intended to be cradled throughout the day. Taiwanese potter, Zhang Hao Yan is a master of this form, each bowl gently curved and sized to hold close. Rich purple hues rise up beneath a fog of crystalline rutile, pooling and breaking across subtly carved irregularities in the surface of this wood fired piece. With a spacious interior, Zhang’s tea bowl is ideally proportioned for whisking fresh matcha, creating further contrasts in color between the bright green of the powdered tea and vibrant glaze work.
This bowl is one of a kind.
Usage and care: To wash, simply rinse between uses or hand scrub. We do not recommend use of detergent.
