Chawan #042601 - By Robert Stickney

There’s a quiet weight to this bowl — not just in the hand, but in the way it slows you down.

This chawan was shaped and fired in a way that lets the kiln leave its own mark. Subtle blush tones drift across a soft ivory surface, interrupted by natural mineral spotting and gentle variations that cannot be repeated. The interior opens wide, giving space for the whisk to move freely, while the rim settles naturally into your hands.

It doesn’t try to be perfect — and that’s exactly where its character lives.

Designed for matcha, but never limited to it, this piece moves easily between ritual and everyday use. A morning bowl. A quiet pause. Something you reach for without thinking, and keep returning to.
