Excellent quality
Arrived safely packaged. The black color is deep and rich, not just painted on. It feels sturdy and substantial in the hand. Great value for a handmade item.

A work of art
More than just a utility item, this feels like a sculpture. The Nanshan style is very distinct. It handles waste water efficiently without splashing.

Perfect addition to my tea station
The texture of this black pottery is incredible. It has a rough, natural feel that contrasts beautifully with my smooth Yixing teapot. The size is perfect for a small desk setup.

True Zen vibe
This basin brings such a calm atmosphere to my morning brewing routine. The handmade imperfections are exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended for Gongfu tea lovers.

Great design, slightly smaller than expected
The design is unique and fits my minimalist theme perfectly. I thought it would be slightly larger based on the photos, but it still functions well for single-person tea sessions.

Beautiful but holds water
Absolutely stunning aesthetic and very well made. Just note that since it is unglazed pottery, it absorbs some water over time, which adds to the character but requires occasional drying.
Q: How do I clean the stains from tea residue?
A: Simply rinse with warm water after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with plain water. Avoid soap as the porous clay may absorb the scent.
Q: Can I use this for hot water directly?
A: Yes, the high-fired ceramic is designed to withstand hot water used during tea ceremonies. However, avoid sudden extreme temperature shocks.
Q: Is this basin glazed or unglazed?
A: This basin features an unglazed, rough surface typical of traditional black pottery, which provides excellent grip and a natural aesthetic.
Q: Is each piece identical?
A: Since each basin is handmade, there will be slight variations in shape, texture, and size, making every piece unique.
Q: Does it come with a drainage hose?
A: No, this is a dry-style tea wash basin intended to hold waste water temporarily, which is then poured out manually. It does not have a built-in drain or hose.
