This is the perfect companion for modern gongfu tea.

Small, flexible and portable, this tea boat can be used with any gaiwan or yixing teapot. The tea boat’s basin holds a full steeping of tea so that you can still pour your rinse over a pot to season it, but takes up less space than a full tea board. The boat can be lined up with a pitcher and cups for a compact set that can go anywhere, not just a dedicated tea table.

The adorable daisies adorning this tea boat against rich warm grey evoke a vintage 1960’s style with lush rich brushstrokes and deep greens. The Peng Yuan Qing Hua Studio shows off their mastery with such extensive hand painting work, against the backdrop of a high-fired, fully-vitrified tea boat.
