About Tea Bowls:
The tea bowl should be rinsed with warm water and washed by using your hands or a soft cloth. Be sure to take off any rings or any kind of jewelry, you may damage the chawan.
Please do not use any detergent or any kind of soap when washing the tea bowl. Unlike the surface porcelain, the surface of pottery ware is rough and uneven. It can absorb the detergent which can leave its smell to the bowl.
After washing your bowl, leave it out to dry naturally with open-air and do not put immediately away in a box. Depending on season and type of tea bowl, they may need up to one weak to dry.
Closing tea bowls inside boxes short after usage may cause the remnant water in the clay to rot, which then becomes the cause of the unpleasant odor.
