MOLO Design in Vancouver has created a modern glass version of the Japanese chawan. The bowl was designed with dimensions and proportions fitting to matcha. While you wouldn’t find someone using this in an actual tea ceremony, the bowl’s amazing presentation of the whisked green tea is quite beautiful. The bowl can be purchased online here Visit MOLO Design’s float glassware page
