Consider the shape
The matcha bowl has a wide, open form designed for whisking with a bamboo chasen. The cup works equally well for matcha, espresso, or any small drink you want to savour slowly.

About Song of Earth Ceramics
Jessica is the ceramic artist behind Song of Earth Ceramics, a small-batch pottery practice based between her cosy home studio and a shared space in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. A Fine Art graduate with a deep love for hand-thrown forms, Jessica’s work is rooted in emotion, nature, and the quiet rituals of making.
Each piece she creates is inspired by the melancholy beauty of the moorland she calls home, the lyrics of emo anthems she grew up with, and her connection to the outdoors — from birdwatching to the changing weather. There’s a softness and stillness in her ceramics that reflects this love of place and introspection.
Jessica’s pots are made to be used and cherished — honest, tactile, and thoughtful. We’re proud to share her work here at Porter Hill.

Song of Earth Ceramics: handcrafted matcha bowls and mugs
Jessica's pottery arrives at Porter Hill straight from her studio in Slaithwaite. Each piece is hand-thrown on the wheel, glazed by hand, and fired in small batches. You'll find the Handcrafted Ceramic Matcha Bowl and the Handcrafted Ceramic Matcha Cup in this collection, both made with care and attention to detail.
Song of Earth Ceramics draws inspiration from the moorland landscape of West Yorkshire. There's a quietness to these pieces, a softness in the glaze and form that suits the slow ritual of whisking matcha or sipping a morning espresso. They're made to be held, used daily, and kept for years. If you're looking for teaware with character and local provenance, this is a good place to start.
How to choose
Think about your ritual
A dedicated matcha bowl suits those who enjoy the full ceremony. The cup is more versatile, fitting into everyday routines without needing extra space in the cupboard.
Expect small variations
These are handmade ceramics, so no two are identical. Slight differences in glaze, weight, or rim shape are part of what makes each piece unique.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Are Song of Earth Ceramics dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glaze and extend the life of each piece. A gentle wash with warm water and mild soap works best. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Can I use the matcha bowl for other drinks?
Absolutely. The wide shape suits whisked drinks, but it also works well for small soups, dipping sauces, or even as a decorative bowl on your table.
Why choose handmade teaware over factory-made?
Handmade ceramics have subtle imperfections that give each piece its own character. You're also supporting an independent maker.
How do I care for handmade ceramics?
Avoid sudden temperature changes. Let hot pieces cool before washing, and don't transfer them straight from a cold cupboard to boiling water. Store carefully to prevent chips.
