This \u003cstrong\u003eShigaraki katakuchi\u003c\/strong\u003e (spouted bowl) carries a band of satin turquoise that deepens toward cobalt at the foot, rising into a speckled, snow-white upper half. Where the two meet, the turquoise thins into soft green and frosted aqua, like a wave easing back from the shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the bowl is glazed entirely in that matte, speckled white, flecked with warm iron spots from the clay.

Color says a lot: a vivid, jade green points to careful shading and fresh, well-stored tea, while dull or yellowish tones suggest the opposite. A \u003cstrong\u003epale interior\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most honest stage for that color. Nothing competes with the green, so you see the tea exactly as it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes this bowl a natural partner for a high-grade ceremonial matcha.
