This tea waste bowl (chaxi) has a broad, rounded basin and a substantial open rim, giving it room to receive rinsing water and discarded leaves during a tea session. Its deep interior keeps the tea table orderly without distracting from the tea ware.
Tea waste bowls belong to the gongfu tea tradition, where vessels are rinsed before brewing and the first infusion may be discarded. Placed beside the teapot or gaiwan, the bowl receives used water and leaves throughout the tea session.
Made in China and wood-fired, this ceramic shows a dense network of dark crackle lines, ash variation, and warm toasted patches across its pale surface. Rinse it after use, wipe gently, and let it dry fully before storage.
