Matcha Bowl (Dahwan) / Korean Yido/natural Yido (Hagi) style

The glaze is too thick (cheap, thick, and lumpy). Even in the photo, you can see that the quality is overall low, and to that end -- you get what you pay for at this price. However, the glaze is so heavy that it shows signs of cracking inside the bowl. I would not consider this product safe for use if you actually intended to brew tea with it. I recently lost (broke) an artisan-crafted, gorgeous tea bowl from South Korea that would have cost me well over $400 to replace. I was using it as a key-bowl, alongside my collection of other Korean tea ceremony bowls and cups. And I thought... well, you're the idiot who used something hard to replace to hold your keys. If all you want is a key bowl, just buy something key-bowl quality. This is key-bowl quality. The glaze is not attractive. Do not try to use this to drink tea.
