Shiroiki 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, ‘Shiroiki’ is a Japanese phrase meaning 'white breath' - being able to see your breath in the cold winter.

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