Wood-fired tea tray # 96173

The chaban is a shallow ceramic tea tray with a raised, irregular rim that helps contain rinse water and small spills. Its broad central surface gives cups and a teapot room to sit securely, while the scalloped outline and flower motif bring a natural accent to the tea table.

Tea trays are part of gongfu tea practice, where they collect water used to warm vessels and rinse cups during a tea session. The chaban keeps these movements tidy and presents the brewing arrangement as a single, cohesive setting.

Made in China with a wood-fired ceramic finish, this tray shows blue and pale glaze pooling around an earthy exposed centre, together with darker firing marks along the rim. Wipe it clean after use and let it dry completely before storage.
