Ceramic Tea Tray, Blue and White Porcelain Tea Tray

This Dehua blue and white porcelain tea tray is fully handcrafted and hand painted by master ceramic artisans then fired at high temperature. The interlocking lotus patterns on the tray surface feature continuous vines and blooming flowers layer by layer. In traditional Chinese culture this pattern symbolizes endless vitality and lasting good fortune. The 30×13.5 cm (11.81×5.31 in) tray surface can easily hold most tea sets and the 1.5 cm (0.59 in) tall rim catches excess tea water keeping your tabletop clean and dry.

Blue and white porcelain is one of the mainstream types of Chinese porcelain. Master ceramic artisans use natural minerals containing cobalt oxide as pigments to hand paint patterns such as landscapes flowers and birds. These pieces are then fired at high temperature to create rare porcelain works that embody Eastern aesthetics.
