Puke Cat Matcha Bowl Handmade Crystal Glaze

A small sculpture you can whisk matcha in. Each Neko bowl is thrown, carved and glazed by hand in a small family-run ceramics workshop in Jiangxi, China's historic porcelain province, then fired at high temperature until its crystal glaze blooms into frost-like patterns. No two bowls come out of the kiln the same.

And yes, the cat is doing exactly what it looks like. The open mouth is a real pouring spout: whisk your matcha in the bowl, tip it, and the cat pours it neatly into your cup.

Why crystal glaze is special

Crystalline glaze is one of the most demanding finishes in ceramics. During a slow, controlled cooling in the kiln, crystals grow inside the glaze and spread into petal- and frost-like formations. The result can't be printed or copied, and it's why every bowl carries its own pattern, depth and shimmer.

Crafted by hand, piece by piece

• Hand-shaped body with a sculpted cat face, ears and eyes
• Hand-painted glossy red mouth that doubles as a pouring spout
• High-fired, food-safe ceramic that holds heat while you whisk
• Unique crystal-glaze pattern on every piece, in Celadon Green or Glacier Blue

Care

Hand wash only with warm water and a soft cloth to protect the crystal glaze. Not for dishwasher or microwave. Let the bamboo whisk air-dry on its holder.

Because every piece is handmade and the glaze crystallises naturally in the kiln, colour, pattern and small details will vary slightly from the photos. That's the mark of a real handmade piece.
