Green Tea Bowls (Matcha Chawan)

Japanese teabowls, known as chawan, are used in the traditional tea ceremony to prepare and drink matcha. This practice dates back to the 15th century, and chawan have remained an essential part of tea culture in Japan ever since.

At Chidori Vintage, we offer a curated selection of vintage and antique Japanese teabowls sourced from across Japan. Our collection includes a variety of styles such as Mino-yaki, Shigaraki, Kizeto, Oribe, Seto-yaki, and Hagi-yaki, each with its own unique character.

These teabowls are made from different clays and fired using different techniques, resulting in a wide range of textures, glazes, and colors. Each piece offers a distinct feel in the hand and can subtly influence the experience of drinking matcha.
