Heaven Vault Elemental Porcelain Tea Boat 15cm
The Heaven Vault Elemental Porcelain Tea Boat 15cm is a handpainted porcelain tea boat inspired by open sky and limitless space. Drawing from tranquil celestial blues and the quiet clarity of a cloudless horizon, this handcrafted round vessel anchors your gongfu tea ritual with calm, expansive elegance.
A deep celestial blue glaze mirrors the surface of an unbroken sky, its smooth finish capturing light and revealing subtle tonal variation that shifts gently throughout the day. Designed to perfectly coordinate with the matching Heaven Vault Gaiwan, this tea boat lets you compose a unified, gallery-worthy tea station where every piece speaks the same visual language.
Measuring a generous 15 cm in diameter, this is a truly multifunctional vessel built for everyday life. On the tea table, its rounded form catches rinse water and manages spillage, keeping your setup clean and composed throughout every steeping. Beyond the ritual, it doubles beautifully as a small serving plate for snacks, fruit, or dessert—crafted from durable, high-fired Jingdezhen porcelain that is safe and reliable for daily use.

Craftsmanship & Materials
Rooted in Jingdezhen porcelain craft, each Heaven Vault tea boat is hand-finished and selected for proportion, glaze depth, and usability. The layered surface is not only decorative; it gives the vessel its atmosphere, making each tea session feel still, clear, and quietly expansive.
Because each piece is individually finished, natural variation in glaze tone, tonal depth, and surface detail should be expected. These differences are part of the character of handmade porcelain teaware and make every tea boat unique.
Perfect For
This tea boat is ideal for beginners setting up their first gongfu station as well as experienced tea drinkers seeking a refined, coordinated ritual space. Its multifunctional form also makes a graceful addition to everyday table settings—from serving small treats to presenting fruit or dessert.
