Tea Tray Purple Copper Handforging Ceramic Tea Boat Chaozhou Chinese Master Pottery Ceramic Japanese Ceramic Tea Ceremony

Well made item. Very happy with it. Wished it came in an XL size to fit a couple of tea cups and the pot! Works well and hv been using it so often! The porcelain base is also a beauty and adds a nice weight to the item. Copper plate isn’t too thin and hence overall quality and feel of item is luxurious

Above and beyond expectations. This tea boat has a clean untarnished copper on one side and has a beautiful almost rainbow aged patina on the other. I like that I can choose the look. I was worried that it would be too wide for my tea board but it’s just right. It arrived quickly from China to western US wrapped with care and opening it felt like a ceremony. Thank you so much for great communication and a bowl that I treasure.

The glazed ceramic and copper tray is beautiful! The copper color is a little different to the image, but that is natural variation and expected. It is a perfect addition and I often use it to hold three small 32ml cups vs a 80ml yixing pot that sits off to the side. Fantastic and glad the bowl is not too deep as that would make lifting the pot up to the cups for a pour that much more of a reach. The copper plate has a solid fit with the tray, doesn't wobble or flex. Nice that one side has more color as though touched slightly with a torch and the other is bare copper. There are fine hairline scratches in some areas of the copper plate, but this is going to be stained with tea and clay cups slid across the surface with use so more scratches will add some character. A little expensive, but you can see the skill of the artist.

Beautiful tea boat! Copper is lovely & has a patina that I'm sure will only improve with time.

Item is beautiful, exactly how the photo shows. It came broken the first time but the seller resolved it right away by sending a new item. The new tray came in perfect condition. Highly recommend this seller and their products.
