Japanese Matcha Tea Bowl – Camellia

Description

This gorgeous camellia matcha tea bowl is an authentic Japanese item that is used for tea ceremonies.  Hand-moulded and painted, it makes an exquisite collectable art piece in any space.  Camellia flowers on a gold background cover the entire surface of this classy luxurious bowl.  The camellia motif continues inside the bowl, giving it higher value. The flower inside the bowl also serves as an indication of the front of the bowl in tea ceremonies.  Camellia motifs symbolise winter and, in tea ceremonies, you would use this tea bowl in cold season.  Treat yourself to a special tea time of your own or start your unique art collection like a true Japanese tea master.  Or buy this as a gift to a matcha aficionado around you.
