In Japanese tradition, green tea is served in a ceremonial way in a bowl called chashaku or chawan. Sisters Ceramics brings her aesthetic to this tea ritual for you to share and connect with others.
One of our customers explained the accepting and returning process: The host will present the tea bowl to you with the “front” of the bowl facing you (look for the maker's mark and remember where it is to stay situated in the front vs the back). You would pick up the bowl with your right hand and place it in your left palm for the host to pour or serve you tea. Etiquette is to bow once and raise the tea bowl to the host.
Rotate the bowl clockwise so the “front” of the bowl is not facing you anymore. Take a sip and compliment the host on the tea. After sipping your tea, make sure the front of the bowl is facing the host when you return it, and then bow to express your gratitude.

Meet the Artist
Sisters Ceramics are pottery characters at the beginning of the road, and trying out ideas. If you're reading this, we're not real like you. But we each have personal and real reasons for doing pottery: Massa is regular, straight and true; Kimmi is research driven; and Koko, just way way out there. You might wonder how our fictional battles materialize into bowls, cups and plates. Sometimes we wonder ourselves!! We like our pottery to feel ordinary and real, and it's so great when someone reports back they use it everyday. Some work is simple and quiet, some louder, some feels like it came out of the ground like a potato. Great to be sisters, but also happy to be different.
