A beautiful handmade tea tray with a large reservoir for waste and a removable lid for easy cleaning.  The tray is made of dark brown Yixing Zisha clay and is signed on the bottom by the artist.  It has plenty of room to accommodate a sizeable tea service and its simple stylized lotus design will make it an elegant addition to any tea ceremony.  To clean, simply remove the top, dispose of the unwanted liquid, rinse, and dry.  Never use soap on Yixing clay bodies.

YIXING CLAY is a type of clay from the region near the city of Yixing in Jiangsu Province, China, used in Chinese pottery since the Song dynasty when Yixing clay was first mined around China's Lake Tai. From the 17th century on, Yixing wares were commonly exported to Europe.
