tea bowl
Handleless drinking cup
A tea bowl is a handleless cup used for drinking tea, especially in East Asian tea ceremonies.
Unlike Western teacups, tea bowls are typically wider and shallower, designed to be cradled in both hands.
Japanese tea bowls often feature deliberate imperfections valued in wabi-sabi aesthetics: The potter's tea bowl showed the irregular glaze prized in chanoyu.
