More Details

Kiyomizu Ware

Kiyomizu ware originates from Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital, and developed along the approach to Kiyomizu Temple during the early Edo period. As part of the broader Kyoto ware tradition, it represents the city’s diverse pottery culture, where each kiln has its own distinctive style. Because Kyoto has little natural clay, artisans source materials from other regions and blend them by hand, creating pieces that balance innovation and tradition. With graceful forms, refined glazes, and delicate painting, these works embody the elegance and sensitivity that define Kyoto’s craftsmanship.

Matcha Bowl

A matcha bowl is an essential item for enjoying Japanese matcha. With its wide rim and deep shape, it is specially designed to enhance the flavor of matcha tea. Beyond tea ceremonies, its versatile size and shape make it suitable for a variety of uses, such as serving salads, desserts, or small side dishes. Each matcha bowl combines functionality with artistic beauty, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship of Japan. The diverse glazes, patterns, and textures make these bowls not only practical but also highly collectible.

FAQ

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
