"Twelve Thunder Gates": In Daoist cosmology, there is a "Thunder City" in the celestial realm — the source of all thunder and lightning power. This city has twelve gates, each guarded by one of the twelve core thunder generals. Together, they symbolize a powerful force of protection, righteousness, and unyielding yang energy. The "Twelve Thunder Gates Tea Tray" takes its name from this tradition, aiming to bring that protective energy and presence into everyday life.
Morning tea or a slow afternoon brew — place your teapot on this tray. The thunder gate pattern spreads across the tea setting, carrying a quiet, grounded presence. Spills are caught, the space stays clean, and everything just feels right.
✨ Soul of Culture
⚡ Hand‑painted Twelve Thunder Gates Pattern
Inspired by traditional Daoist thunder motifs, the design carries a clear, righteous energy. One glance while brewing, and the restlessness in your mind quietly fades — you feel more at peace. When friends gather for tea, placing this tray on the table instantly adds a layer of refined Eastern ambiance.
🌱 Dao in the Clay — Crafted by Nature
Natural incense ash is blended into the porcelain, giving it a warm ivory or beige tone with a jade‑like feel. The pigments use five‑colored earth minerals (green, red, white, black, yellow) — colors straight from the earth that stay rich and stable over time. Each piece is shaped by both nature and hand.
🏺 Form of the Vessel
Wide Octagonal Surface, Spill‑proof
20×20cm. The generous octagonal surface is stable enough for covered bowls and purple‑clay teapots. The deep reservoir holds water without leaking — your table stays dry and clean.
Symmetrical Octagonal Form — Steady and Bold
Eight balanced sides with softly rounded edges. It sits firmly on the tea table, looking just as good as it feels.
Raised Rim Keeps Everything Contained
The rim is slightly higher than usual, so tea liquid and fine leaves stay inside the tray. Easy to wipe clean — one swipe and it's done.
Soft White Glaze — Patterns Come Alive
The glaze is a gentle milky white — understated but captivating. The underglaze paintings pop with vivid, layered colors.
⚙️ Craftsmanship
Underglaze — Safe, Never Fades
The pattern is sealed under the glaze — scrub‑proof, fade‑proof, and completely safe for daily use.
1300°C High‑temperature Firing
Fired at high temperature, the porcelain is dense, durable, lead‑free, and cadmium‑free. Resists cracking with temperature changes — built to last.
Fully Hand‑painted — One of a Kind
Artisans hand‑paint each Twelve Thunder Gates motif with precise, fluid strokes. Every piece has subtle variations that machines simply can't reproduce.
Silver Outlining — Delicate in the Light
Silver lines trace the contours, catching the light with subtle shadow and depth. The fine detailing gives the piece a refined, elevated feel.
