This is a handmade Chinese lacquer tea tray, finished in flowing gold lacquer (Liu Jin, 流金), by HFDlacquerware (禾丰鼎). At 17.7" × 5.9", it holds a teapot and cups for gongfu tea, and doubles as a display tray or a scholar's desk tray between sessions. Gold powder is mixed into natural raw lacquer (生漆) and dropped freely onto the surface, then left to settle into its own pattern, so no two trays are alike. Once fully cured, natural lacquer stands up well to warmth and everyday use at the tea table. It makes a considered gift for someone who takes their tea practice seriously. Long and narrow, it keeps the tea table in one clean line. Also available: see the other Flowing Gold Tea Trays, including the Dry Brewing Tea Tray.
