Matcha Bowl Care and Maintenance

Maintaining a handmade matcha bowl is essential to preserve its beauty and functionality. Here are some tips on how to properly maintain a handmade matcha bowl:

1. Cleaning the Bowl After Use

No Dishwashers: Ceramic pieces can be placed in dishwasher, however SHOULD be hand washed to preserve longevity. Harsh heat and detergents can wear down the material and glaze over time.

If you need to clean the bowl more thoroughly, use mild soap and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges that can damage the piece.

2. Drying the Bowl

Air Dry: After cleaning, leave your bowl to air dry. Place it upside down on a clean, dry towel to allow any remaining moisture to escape.

3. Storage and Handling

Store Safely: Keep the bowl in a safe place where it won’t be at risk of falling or getting chipped.

Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: Handmade bowls are often more fragile than mass-produced ones, so avoid sudden changes in temperature (e.g., placing a hot bowl into cold water) to prevent cracks or breakage.
