Sandstone Dreams Woodfired Chahai (Server)

A chahai, sometimes also called gongdao bei, is used to decant the tea after it has been steeped for the requisite amount of time. The tea can then be served from the chahai into individual tea cups.

Hand-thrown from porcelain, the vibrant and contrasting colours on this chahai looks like an absolute work of art. This piece has in fact never been glazed. Instead, this teapot was wood-fired for five days. This chahai has an ergonomic shape and pours very cleanly with no drip. It is just the perfect size to handle with just one hand.

While the vessel was originally designed for tea in mind, we have also used our chahais for sake and other beverages.

To take care of this chahai, rinse with hot water between uses.
