Japanese Mino Ware Pottery Small Matcha bowl 3.74 Inches Diameter Japanese Tea Cup for Tea Ceremony, Desserts, Mini Appetizers, Moon and Rabbit Pattern from Japan A3018

Matcha bowls are made of earthenware. The surface of the pottery has many irregularities that are invisible to the naked eye and has water absorption. If you leave it as it is after use, the stain will enter into it, and it will cause dirt that is difficult to remove with a sponge. As you use it, the glaze on the surface will come with tea astringency like a crack. I guess it seemed to have cracked the surface glaze. It will not break. Porcelain has a smooth surface, so it is hard to stain. However, this will also adhere over time and for many years. We recommend that you wash your hands immediately after use to prevent dirt from attaching. Also, gently rub the stains on the tea astringent with vinegar or lemon peel. Do not use detergents as they are absorbent.
