Chasen-matchavispausteline

The black porcelain is heavier and more stable than I expected, so my whisk doesn’t wobble even when I set it down in a hurry. It’s done exactly what it should—kept the tines from splaying out, and the dish itself looks nice sitting on the counter between morning bowls.

The black porcelain is heavier and more stable than I expected, so my chasen sits upright without wobbling on the counter. It’s a simple thing, but the concave interior cradles the bamboo tines exactly right and keeps them from splaying out between sessions.
