This handmade ceramic chawan is created for matcha tea rituals and calm, mindful daily use. Made by Ukrainian ceramic artist Andrii Tyrsa, the bowl reflects a quiet, grounded aesthetic shaped by hand rather than by strict symmetry. Its deep, textured surface gives the piece a strong tactile presence and a sense of weight and stability.
The form is organic and slightly irregular, designed to feel natural when held with both hands. Subtle variations in surface depth and glaze interaction make the bowl visually interesting from every angle, while remaining focused on use rather than decoration.
This chawan is made from natural red stoneware clay and fired at high temperature. The walls are noticeably thicker than those of a standard chawan, giving the bowl additional weight and thermal mass. When pre-warmed, it helps retain heat longer, keeping matcha warm throughout preparation and drinking.
The interior is fully glazed with a food-safe glaze, making the bowl practical for everyday use and easy to clean after tea.
Use & Experience
This ceramic chawan is designed for traditional matcha preparation and slow tea rituals. Its rounded shape feels steady in the hands and supports comfortable whisking. The added weight and thickness create a calm, grounded experience, encouraging unhurried moments with tea.
The textured surface adds a tactile dimension that enhances the sensory aspect of the ritual. Beyond daily use, the bowl can also be appreciated as part of a ceramic collection for those who value handmade studio pottery.
