Unglazed zisha clay is traditionally prized in Chinese tea culture, where a well-used vessel is said to take on the character of the tea brewed in it. Suits loose leaf green tea, oolong, pu-erh or black tea.

Please note: no original packaging is included, and given the gold decoration, hand washing is recommended.

Makes a lovely gift for tea drinkers or collectors of Asian ceramics.
