Re: Teabowls
Sorry for my possible stupid question : teabowls are great , do you only collect and display them or you either use them ? I've read a few about glazes and i understand there are some toxic elements mixed in. How one may know if a teabowl is food safe, for tea in particular which is prepared with boiled water ?

Re: Teabowls
Most of these are food safe, although 20thC Chinese ones with colourful overglazed enamels containing lead, arsenic, cadmium etc, are not food safe. Not sure about the barium glazed ones. Some are porous, like hagi ware, and will change colour with use; old ones are highly prized by Japanese collectors.
Some of mine are on display and get swapped around. No, I don’t use them.

Re: Teabowls
Thank you for your kind answer. I've got diverse ceramic tea/coffee mugs and i would love to drink in them but , whenever i am ready to prepare my drink , there is a dwarf in my head who is whispering that it might be toxic. So i end by using porcelain.

Re: Teabowls
The Japanese tea ceremony is designed to lower the temperature of the hot water so it doesn’t harm the teabowls. Most cups are just clay, silica and iron oxides which are harmless.

Chawan collection
Hello! I found this thread and it has a lot of wonderful tea-ware, and many of the artists were new to me. So thanks for that.
Here is my collection https://www.instagram.com/seattle_chawan_collection/ for your perusal. I try to use all of them, except for the heavily leaded ones.

I agree with Naomi but, as not everyone is on Instagram, it would be good if you could share some of your pieces here on the Forum as well.
