Tea Bowls + Cups

Description: This type of handleless tea cup is based on the Chawan, or tea bowl, which originated in ancient China and spread to Korea, Japan, and other parts of Asia. It is used most commonly nowadays for traditional Chanoyu (Japanese Tea Ceremony) as part of the meditative and performative experience around preparing Matcha, or powdered green tea. There are several bowl shapes used in the tradition; Margit’s hand-built Chawan closest resembles the rounder, footed Goki-gata. Many cultures around the world drink other types of tea from a tea bowl, especially tea types that require a cooler water temperature to steep for optimum flavour (less than 100°C) - green tea, oolong tea and white tea. This allows you to cradle the bowl in your hands as you sip without your fingers being burned. The versatility of the tea bowl shape lends it to other, less conventional uses: a bowl for sorbet or ice cream, hot soups, hot and cold cereals, etc.

White stoneware clay is incised with one of Margit’s unique designs. The tea bowl is painted with a white glaze and accented with a dark blue glaze.

Dishwasher Safe. No Microwave.

Uses: Traditionally used for Matcha in Japanese Tea Ceremonies. Also excellent for white, green and oolong teas. In winter months, use as a small soup or oatmeal bowl - in the summer, use it to serve ice cream or sorbet.

Description: This cup is the perfect size to wrap in your hands during a cool day.

White stoneware clay is incised with Margit's different designs. The cup is glazed white inside and accented on the outside with either white,blue or green glaze.

Dishwasher Safe. No Microwave.

Uses: Excellent for lower-temperature teas, such as white tea, green tea, yellow tea, or oolong tea. Also good for black tea with milk, or an iced tea of any kind. This cup is also the perfect size for a special tea latté or coffee latté, hot cocoa, a small bouquet of fresh or dried flowers, or a desk organizer for pens and pencils.

Material: White Stoneware Clay, White Glaze, White, Blue or Green Glaze Accents

Description: The size of this versatile, handled cup is inspired by the conventional tea and coffee drinking traditions common in the West, especially England and North America. This cup holds the perfect amount of tea and has just enough room for a spot of milk and honey, if you prefer. It can be used for all tea types, but is more commonly used for black teas and herbal tisanes which require 100°C water to steep – the handle will save your fingers from getting burned. The cup is functional, great for everyday use, and manages to be simultaneously elegant and adorable.
