A ceramic tray with a gently undulating edge creating a practical lip that’s visually arresting. Hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually, each unique porcelain tray is glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, or a satin-matt manganese glaze in black.

Part of Jo’s full Chinese Tea Set, the Tray, with a practical pouring lip, neatly holds Cups, Brew Pot and Small Jug, and manages the spilling often involved in the traditional making of Chinese tea. More than just a tea tray, it can be bought separately and used for any function, display or decoration.

The Chinese Tea Set is a response to the wonderfully diverse tea sets Jo encountered while taking tea on a 2018 trip to Jingdezhen - the home of Chinese porcelain. The Set reflects both the Western and Eastern traditions and rituals of tea drinking, bringing together divergent ideas of form and function in a set that unmistakably carries the unique Jo Davies aesthetic. Created to celebrate the eclectic and traditional tea sets used in daily life in China, you are invited to choose matching or complementary coloured elements in creating your own set.
