Sunflower Teabowl
Turned on a Japanese lathe from “Mizume Sakura” (Japanese Cherry Birch), then carved by hand with chisels. Afterwards coated in multiple layers of white urushi sprinkled with “dry urushi powder” creating a stone like texture. The urushi will wear slightly with time and reveal a beautiful patina of underlying urushi powder. The shape and size are made explicitly for the use as a matcha tea bowl for tea ceremonies or private use.
