Japanese Raku-style Matcha Tea Bowls Set (Black & Orange) – Wabi-Sabi Tea Ware (2 pcs, with wooden box) This is a set of two Japanese matcha tea bowls (black and orange), used in the Japanese tea ceremony. The bowls feature a gently irregular, hand-shaped silhouette, with subtle distortion and natural movement in the form. The uneven shape creates soft shadows and a calm atmosphere, strongly reflecting the spirit of Wabi-Sabi. The glaze is also beautiful: the black bowl has a deep and quiet glossy finish, while the orange bowl shows a warm, earthy tone. Displayed together, they create an elegant contrast. A kiln mark (stamp) can be found on the base, and the included wooden box is inscribed to indicate the pair as “black” and “orange.” Ideal not only as tea ceremony utensils, but also for Japanese modern interior décor or shop display. Size (approx.) • Black: diameter approx. 11 cm / height approx. 8 cm • Orange: diameter approx. 11 cm / height approx. 8.5 cm Please note: handmade pieces may vary slightly. Condition • Age-related wear, minor scratches, and glaze variations are present • No major chips or cracks observed (please refer to photos) • The uneven shape is an intentional feature of the Wabi-Sabi style Included • Wooden storage box • 2 matcha bowls (black & orange)
