Vlasta is a sculptor, woodworker, and instrument maker whose practice is rooted in reverence for material. Working mostly from the forests of Southern Bohemia, he transforms locally sourced wood into elegant, functional tea tools—trays, scoops, and carved vessels that honor both the tree and the tea.
(Central Bohemia, Czech Republic )
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a vibrant city known for its stunning architecture, rich history, and cultural heritage. With a blend of medieval, Gothic, and Baroque buildings, it’s a city of timeless charm. Prague also has a growing tea culture, with a variety of tea houses offering both traditional and modern tea experiences. Czech tea culture is deeply rooted in the tradition of tea drinking, and the city is home to many places where people enjoy high-quality teas.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences.
Aromatisch, süßlich, vollmundig über drei Aufgüsse.
Sehr schmackhaft im empfohlenen Einmalaufguss.
This matcha has small lumps but is really gentle.
I can't wait to try meiju.
Uneven,subtle glaze. The dented spots are particulary cool, since they adjust the cup very much to the hand. The combination of the white glaze with unglazed red clay parts reminds me positevly of 1970s aestetics.
We love the weight, the feel, the size - and how beautifully the katakuchi lends itself to pouring cool liquids as well as brewing hot tea...
My favorite tea 💚 you can drink in cold brew, warm infusion or sparkling tea
