Chaban (Tea Tray) He Xiang, Lotus and Calligraphy, Dark Wood, Plastic Drawer # 97077

This chaban brings a dark wood tea-table surface into a compact gongfu setup. Its slatted top lets rinse water pass below, while the removable plastic drawer catches it, making preparation and clearing tea straightforward.

Chaban, literally tea tray, belongs to the gongfu tea tradition, where a tray receives warming water, rinses, and spills during repeated infusions. Slatted or perforated trays are used beneath the teapot and cups, keeping the serving surface orderly.

This piece is made in China from dark-toned wood, with a central lotus and calligraphy panel and brass-coloured corner fittings visible against the linear slats. Empty the drawer after use and wipe the wood dry.
