Katakuchi (Spouted Chawan) — Matsuyama Pottery Studio

This charming small warming pot from Matsuyama Pottery Studio is a versatile piece designed for everyday comfort cooking. Handcrafted in Iga heat-resistant clay, it retains warmth exceptionally well, making it ideal for gently heating food and drinks while preserving their natural flavours.

Perfect for warming miso soup, porridge, soy milk, baby food, and small portions of soup or sauces. It is also excellent for preparing and serving matcha, whether for gently warming water, whisking a single serving, or pouring with control thanks to the spout. The soft cream colour and rounded form bring a gentle warmth to both kitchen and table, making it a joy to use and display.

Despite its compact size, this pot is highly practical and loved for tasks such as reheating leftovers, steaming vegetables, preparing baby food, and serving warm drinks like mulled wine or hot beer.

Each piece is handmade, so slight variations in shape, size, and colour are part of its character.
