Shinrinyoku Tea Bowl

Influenced by Japanese and Korean techniques and folk pottery, our delicate tea bowls are hand thrown on the potters wheel in the UK and wood fired by veteran potter Lisa Armour-Brown. Inspired by natural surroundings: sea, sky, earth and fire, each piece is strikingly individual. In Japanese, ‘Shinrinyoku’ means ‘forest bathing’, and refers to walking through the forest and soaking in all the restorative green light. It’s reflected in the beautiful glaze, streaks of deep green and light.

The bowls have an open shape, which helps your drink to cool down a bit faster, and are a good size to soothingly cup with both hands. They’re also pretty versatile, a good size and shape for a pinch pot, useful for salts and spices on the table.
