Subject:Is this Kyoto bowl safe for making matcha and food?
Posted By: ale6rbd Wed, Feb 21, 2024 IP: 112.71.206.152

Hi there,

Ceramics question: Bought this bowl in Kyoto but my main concern is if this is actually good to use for making matcha. Was wondering if anyone could identify the producer and year of make or tell me if this could potentially have lead or similar. The bowl was really cheap so I'm also trying to figure out the reasoning behind the price. I also noticed it has the crackled pattern [all similar bowls seem to have this]. Would this be a concern? Also not sure if the box is the original one.

Here's the photos from another website that sells a bowl like this: https://imgur.com/a/n8c4wgk

Thanks so much!
