I need to try making bowl tea! Naturally I feel a need to find a special bowl, not just the two matcha bowls I already have! Ha ha! What sort do you use? Is it best to use a glass bowl to enjoy the color?
I think you’ve seen mine already — it’s ash-glazed clay. I love it. Though I think you could get away with a matcha bowl for starters! The general impression I got is that deeper, steeper sided bowls are “winter” bowls (because they’ll retain heat longer), while shallower, thinner, more open bowls are “summer” bowls. Mine leans toward the latter:
Oh, I like the idea of winter and summer bowls! Perhaps even useful for controlling temp with leaf that might be a bit tetchy bowl style. I have a student who took several pottery classes at school. Perhaps I can commission a bowl.
Ooh, that’d be special!
