This \u003cstrong\u003eShigaraki katakuchi\u003c\/strong\u003e (spouted bowl) is brushed in a quiet, satiny white that shifts between ivory and pale dove gray, with the potter's horizontal brush strokes still visible around the body. Inside, the white turns in a slow spiral down to the center of the bowl, like a whirlpool drawn in chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook closely and faint blushes of peach and pink rise through the white, on the interior walls and across the unglazed band near the foot.

The term comes from the 17th century, when Japanese tea masters sent designs to Korean kilns to have tea bowls made to order. The bowls that came back often showed delicate peach-pink spots where iron in the clay reacted in the fire, and the effect became treasured in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGohon cannot be painted on. It appears where it chooses, depending on the clay and the kiln. On this bowl it shows as warm, cloud-like blushes against cool white, the kind of quiet detail you notice only the second or third time you pick the bowl up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHISK \u0026 POUR --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-item\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"ou-acc-btn\"\u003eWhisk \u0026amp; Pour\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhisk matcha directly in the bowl, then pour cleanly over milk or ice for lattes.
