Plum Blossom (Ume) Matcha Bowl (Chawan) - Handmade in Japan

A hand-painted matcha bowl with red and white plum blossoms (ume) with golden centres, branches in green and grey, and a glossy deep black glaze inside that shows off the green of the matcha. Plum blossom is a classic Japanese symbol of resilience and the first sign of spring. Made in Japan, handcrafted by Japanese artisans. Each piece is made by hand, so size, glaze and painting vary slightly - no two bowls are exactly alike. Pre-order item.
