Unassuming at first glance, this tea bowl begs holding. As you rotate the form the gentle undulations of the lip emerge, and subtle cobalt freckles break the field of matte glaze, the color of snow during the blue hour early evening.
Each of Liao Guo Hua’s pieces are exceptionally tactile, inviting the hand to settle naturally into the strokes and curves of the form. By no means quotidian, these are nonetheless pots for routine, daily use. We find ourselves reaching for the artist's work, again and again, imbuing a sense of grace and beauty into our daily tea drinking experience.
About Tea Bowls
In Taiwan, tea bowls are often used to drink loose leaf tea. It's quite simple and works wonders on most of our teas.
Simply warm a tea bowl, add tea leaves, and add water. We suggest using 1 to 2 grams less tea than our normal recommended dosage, and filling the bowl 2/3 of the way to the top. Adding a slow steady stream of the water over the leaves also helps the leaves settle to the bottom. Steep until leaves have just opened. Sip, and add more water if necessary.
Drinking tea from a bowl is both casual and elegant. We find it a very personal and comforting experience.
Usage and care: Hand-wash only, with mild detergent if necessary.
