Know before you buy
This stand is specifically designed for smaller vessels, ideally those between 90ml and 150ml. If you use a teapot larger than this, it may overhang the 15.6cm diameter and feel less stable.
Because the clay is unglazed, it is porous and will absorb small amounts of liquid or tea oils over time. This is intended to develop a unique patina, but it means you should wipe it clean and let it air dry completely after use to prevent staining.
Yes, the raw clay material is naturally heat-resistant and provides a safe, stable base for hot teapots or gaiwans. It protects your table surface from direct heat transfer.
While designed as a teapot stand, its rustic aesthetic makes it a versatile piece. It works well as a small coaster for a cup or as a decorative tray for other small tea ceremony accessories.
Simply rinse it with warm water and wipe it down with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents, as the porous raw clay can absorb these chemicals and potentially affect the flavor of future brews.
