A zodiac tea bowl and tray set, in two parts: a thick-walled cup and an insulating lid that doubles as a dipping tray. Great for use as a chawan (matcha), shiru-wan (soup bowl), or tazza (cappuccino cup). Crafted at the wheel by hand in my home studio, with underglaze abstract artwork on both items.
Details:
- Color: warm rust and beige meets creamy white
- Capacity: approximately 12oz - 14oz (~1.5 cups)
- Size: tea bowl: diameter 4.5 inches, height 3 inches; tray: diameter 5 inches, height 1 inch
- Material: stoneware or porcelain (ceramic), glazed and fired to cone 5 or 6 in oxidation
- Versatility: the cup is great for tea (matcha, loose-leaf, or herbal), coffee drinks, soups, rice, or side dishes. The tray can be used as a cup or tea bag rest, a soy sauce or ponzu dipping tray, and as an insulating lid to steep herbal teas or keep contents warm on the table.
Fulfillment: In stock items are processed within five business (working) days, with total lead time between 2-10 days. Out of stock items have a lead time of 4-8 weeks.
Safety: Food Safe (lead-free and cadmium-free). I make my own glazes and test them for scratch resistance and acid leaching, to ensure they are physically and chemically durable and capable of many years of consistent use. I occasionally use commercial glazes that also pass my tests.
Care: Microwave and dishwasher safe; hand wash recommended. As with most handmade ceramics, please avoid shocking your cup with sudden temperature changes beyond a difference of 100ºC. Cleaning promptly after use and occasionally running your cup in the dishwasher will help ensure your cup's continued food safety for many, many years.
