Matcha turquoise tea bowl by Seigan 490ml

Seigan matcha turquoise tea bowl 490ml

An original tea bowl, handmade by Japanese ceramic artist Seigan Yamane. Dark brown clay and striking glazing - a glossy glaze in a deep turquoise colour. Spectacular and practical - you will very conveniently prepare matcha tea in it in the traditional way. Each time you use it, it will give you the pleasure of experiencing contemporary applied art. The bottom of each bowl is marked with the artist's signature.

Seigan Yamane is a highly regarded ceramic artist who lives and works in The Hague. Many years of trials and experiments with traditional materials and techniques can be seen in the artist's unique vessels. His pieces tend to be irregular in shape and are made of quite massive, often porous clay with small pebbles. They embody the Japanese aesthetic of wabi - sabi. The artist derives great joy from his daily work and wishes to pass it on to all who use the vessels he makes :)

Due to the handmade nature of his work, each teapot is slightly different from the others - the unique distribution of the glaze on the vessel and the subtle differences in dimensions are a natural feature of the objects made by the artist's hand.
