Tea Habitat Teapot Holder

The holder is designed with a standard footprint suitable for most gongfu-sized teapots and gaiwans. However, if you are using an exceptionally large or wide-bottomed vessel, it may feel less stable.

Ru Yao glaze is known for its fine crackle pattern, which will naturally absorb tea tannins over time. This is a celebrated feature of the style, as it allows the piece to develop a unique patina and character unique to your brewing habits.

While it is sized for teapots and gaiwans, it can certainly function as a coaster for a tea cup. Keep in mind that its primary design is to elevate brewing vessels to manage drips, so it may be slightly larger than a standard cup coaster.

The ceramic surface is smooth, but the design is stable enough to hold a teapot securely. As with any ceramic accessory, you should place it on a level surface to ensure the best stability during your brewing session.

Simply rinse it with warm water after use and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents, as the porous nature of the Ru Yao glaze can absorb strong scents or chemicals.
