Kate Metten Matcha Whisk Bowl
A hand-thrown chawan bowl by ceramicist Kate Metten, made to prepare and enjoy authentic maccha at home.
The chawan is one of tea's most iconic utensils, the wide opening and flat bottom is designed perfectly for the whisk to create smooth, frothy foam. Each piece celebrates the unique characteristic of handmade pottery. The pull of the clay, the weight of intention makes every bowl as individual as the practice it supports.
Slow down. Sift. Whisk. The ritual begins here.

About Kate Metten
Kate Metten is an interdisciplinary artist whose material investigations into oil painting and ceramics deal primarily with the language of abstraction. Working at the intersection of those two histories allows a flexibility to address painterly concerns with clay, research into colour theory, visual perception and the still life, while also reflecting on Modernist philosophies of the Bauhaus, the unmaking of craft and material hierarchies. She is deeply concerned with phenomenology and the physicality of form. The internal logic of her artwork is determined by intuitive construction and response to material; Images and objects arise out of multi-layers of decision making to develop forms that are at once recognizable yet unfamiliar. The indexical quality of both painting and ceramic render dynamic impressions of mass and surface that preserve evidence of the hand and mind in motion. Metten’s preoccupation with the mechanics of looking, the psychological play of optical illusions, and our brain’s response to reductionist imagery confronts the viewer with the conditioning of their own perception.
