Wood-Fired Crackle Tea Waste Bowl # 96176

This tea waste bowl (chaxi) combines a low, rounded body with a thick rolled rim, creating a stable vessel for collecting rinsing water and spent leaves. The wide opening is practical during a tea session and makes emptying the bowl straightforward.

Tea waste bowls are associated with gongfu tea, in which teaware is warmed and rinsed as part of brewing. Set on the tea table beside a teapot or gaiwan, this vessel quietly gathers water and leaves while keeping the arrangement clean.

Made in China with wood firing, it displays softly mottled cream, brown, and grey surfaces, with darker firing marks near the base and rim. Rinse gently after use, avoid abrasive cleaning, and dry the bowl thoroughly before putting it away.
