Vintage Lacquer Tea Tray

Art in Daily Use

A small object that turns ordinary tea moments into playful, elegant rituals.

Some tea trays do more than hold cups.
Some bring texture, color, and personality to every table.

The Vintage Lacquer Tea Tray is handcrafted from raw lacquer, clay, and fabric, finished with brass-colored lacquer and copper accents. The delicate nails and subtle wabi-sabi textures make each tray a miniature artwork, signed by Kevin with “太戊” and “袁” markings on the base. Perfect as a tea tray, dessert plate, or a small display piece, it adds charm and creativity to your everyday rituals.
