Kutani Ware Matcha Bowl - Hungry Kingfisher / 九谷焼 抹茶椀 K9-1256(K8-1174) and with an earthy depthKutani ware () is a traditional craft of Ishikawa prefecture () with a history of over 360 years. The beauty of nature, brilliant colour and fine calligraphy are the key features of this style of Japanese porcelain. Two birds have perched on a delicate branch just above the rim, as though they're there to accompany the act of whisking. The cream coloured glaze frames them perfectly, while the textured, charcoal base keeps everything grounded and warm.
