The craft

Crystals that grow in the kiln.

Crystalline glaze is one of the most demanding finishes in ceramics: slow to fire, impossible to fake and different every time. It's why each Neko bowl carries its own shimmer and depth.

01
Thrown and sculpted by handThe body is formed first, then the face, ears and eyes are sculpted on by the artisan.
02
A glaze that grows crystalsDuring a slow, controlled cooling, crystals bloom inside the glaze into frost- and petal-like patterns.
03
High-fired for everyday useFired at high temperature into dense, food-safe ceramic that holds warmth while you whisk.

The ritual

Sift. Whisk. Pour.

A slow, three-minute ritual that turns your daily matcha into the best part of the morning.

Step 1

Sift

Sift 1-2 scoops of matcha into the bowl so it whisks smooth, without lumps.

Step 2

Whisk

Add about 70 ml of hot (not boiling) water and whisk briskly in a zig-zag until a fine foam forms.

Step 3

Pour

Tilt the bowl and let the cat pour your matcha into a cup, or simply sip it straight from the bowl.

The workshop

Made by a family, not a factory line.

Every Neko bowl comes from a small family-run ceramics workshop in Jiangxi, China's historic porcelain province, a region famous for ceramics for more than a thousand years. Each bowl is shaped, sculpted and glazed by hand, then fired slowly so the crystals have time to grow.

It takes longer and not every piece survives the kiln, but the ones that do are worth it.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Is every bowl really one of a kind?

Yes. Each bowl is shaped and glazed by hand, and the crystal glaze forms its own pattern while it cools in the kiln. Colour, crystal size and small details will vary slightly from the photos. No two bowls are identical.

How does the cat pour?

The open mouth is a real spout that runs through to the inside of the bowl. Whisk your matcha, tilt the bowl toward your cup and it pours from the cat's mouth. Pour slowly the first time to get a feel for it.

How big is the bowl?

14.3 × 12.4 × 11 cm with a 570 ml (19 oz) capacity, a generous size that gives your whisk plenty of room for a smooth, frothy matcha.

What's in the 8-piece set?

The cat matcha bowl, two matching crystal-glaze tea cups (60 ml), a crystal-glaze whisk holder, a bamboo whisk (chasen), a bamboo scoop (chashaku), a stainless steel sifter and a ceramic scoop rest.

Is it food safe? Can it go in the dishwasher?

The bowl is high-fired, food-safe ceramic. To protect the hand-applied crystal glaze, please hand wash only with warm water and a soft cloth. No dishwasher or microwave.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are processed within 1-3 business days and shipped with tracking. International delivery usually takes 7-20 business days depending on your location. Every piece is carefully packed to arrive safely.

What if my bowl arrives damaged?

Ceramics are fragile, so we pack every order carefully. If anything arrives damaged, send us a photo within 7 days of delivery and we'll replace it or refund you in full.
