The unique, flowing beauty created by traditional craftsmanship
This glass tea whisk stand is made from borosilicate glass, a type of glass with a high boron content that has a low thermal expansion rate and excellent heat resistance. Borosilicate glass is widely used in laboratory equipment and cookware as heat-resistant and hard glass. It is dishwasher-safe, making it suitable not only for home use but also for operations in professional settings.
At the factory, each piece is crafted using the mouth-blown technique: molten glass is gathered on the tip of a stainless steel blowpipe, then shaped by inflating it with air. Because of this method, variations naturally occur in thickness, form, and the way bubbles appear. The fine lines that resemble patterns and the gentle undulations felt on the surface convey the warmth and character that only handmade glass can offer.
Designed to preserve the delicate beauty of the tea whisk
A whisk stand is a tool designed to dry and keep the tea whisk hygienic, crafted with the ideal shape and material to avoid damaging the tips of the prongs. Also known as chasen-naoshi or chasen-yasume, it is used to extend the life of the tea whisk, which tends to lose its shape over time and become less effective for whisking matcha.
This whisk stand is designed with a raised base, so the tips of the whisk do not touch the bottom. This helps keep the whisk clean after use while preventing wear and tear on the tips. In addition, the wide opening ensures that the inner prongs fit comfortably without strain, allowing the whisk’s natural graceful curves and shape to be preserved. As a result, it serves as a reliable tool to support daily tea preparation while maintaining the whisk’s beauty over time.
