Ume bowl features elegant, hand-painted plum blossoms (ume)—some in full bloom, others still in rounded bud—gently unfolding across slender branches. Their soft pink forms float on a warm ivory glaze, capturing the moment when winter begins to give way to spring.
In Japanese tradition, ume blossoms are cherished as the first flowers of the year, symbolizing endurance, renewal, and the quiet strength of new beginnings. The bowl’s glossy green interior reflects the early stirrings of life beneath the surface.
Compact and calming, this piece is perfect for outdoor tea gatherings and morning matcha. Try whisking with First Bloom as the first light of spring returns to the air!
