Black Magpie Cherry Blossom Tea Tray
Black Magpie Cherry Blossom Tea Tray
This black tea tray was handmade and skillfully painted in Jingdezhen, China, by the same potter who creates the blue sky dancing cranes tea tray. It features a couple of magpies flying towards pink cherry blossom branches and bamboo leaves. The Chinese characters ("喜上眉梢“）on the tea tray originates from traditional poems which could be translated as "happiness reveals from your eyebrows'' (magpies relate to fortune and happiness in Chinese culture). We particularly like the hand-painted pattern and black glossy finish of this tea tray. It fits perfectly for a gaiwan or a teapot.

Additional Information:
It’s food safe, of course. And also dishwasher safe. However, I strongly recommend that you wash and dry it by hand, and use it gently. Please do not use on an open flame, gas or electric stove-top. And try to avoid alternating hot and cold, which could cause cracking.
