Espresso Glaze Sea-Duck Motif Kui Kou Tray Hucheng
$238.00In the practice of gongfu tea, a tea tray is more than a supporting piece. It quietly holds the rhythm of the entire session. This deep-bodied hucheng is designed to receive warm water poured over the teapot, while also gently holding tasting cups in one place. The rich Espresso Glaze carries a soft sheen, deep and steady, like dark wood after rain.
The form is inspired by the Song dynasty celadon dish with foliate rim, with subtle curves that feel calm and balanced. Inside the tray, a traditional sea-duck motif from Song Dynasty Yaozhou ware is reinterpreted in hand-painted gold. The design is placed at the center of the interior, so it reveals itself during the tea process—when cups are lifted, when water settles, when the moment slows. It becomes part of the quiet viewing experience at the tea table.
