Velvet Rose Elemental Porcelain Tea Boat 15cm

Anchor your tea table in bold, commanding beauty with the Velvet Rose Elemental Porcelain Tea Boat 15cm. Born from the same breathtaking kiln transformation (Yaobian) as the Velvet Rose Master Teacup, this handcrafted round vessel carries a deep, saturated, velvety pink glaze that radiates warmth, vitality, and rich indulgence. Where some glazes whisper, this one blooms — turning your gongfu station into a vivid, gallery-worthy display of colour and craft.

The intense heat of the kiln has dissolved any pale softness, leaving behind a glaze of full, unapologetic radiance. Layered in deep rose and warm blush tones, the surface shifts subtly under changing light — at times lush and saturated, at others glowing like the last light of a summer afternoon. Designed to coordinate perfectly with the matching Velvet Rose Gaiwan and Master Teacup, this tea boat completes a unified, passionate tea station where every piece speaks with one bold, cohesive voice.

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.

The Kiln's Signature: Velvet Rose & Frosted Rose

The Velvet Rose glaze is the product of an extraordinary kiln transformation — one where the full intensity of heat has drawn out a deep, saturated bloom of colour with no trace of hesitation. Its sister variation, the Frosted Rose, emerges when the kiln works differently: delicate icy-white halos mingle with pale pink for a softer, more ethereal effect. Both glazes are born from the same firing process, yet each tells its own story. Be sure to explore both beautiful variations in the Elemental Collection.

Craftsmanship & Materials

Rooted in Jingdezhen porcelain craft, each Velvet Rose tea boat is hand-finished and individually selected for proportion, glaze depth, and usability. The Yaobian surface is not merely decorative — its richness and movement give the vessel its character, making each tea session feel grounded, luxurious, and full of life.

Because each piece is individually fired and finished, natural variation in glaze tone, depth of colour, and surface detail should be expected. These differences are the signature of handmade porcelain teaware and make every tea boat entirely unique.

Perfect For

This tea boat is ideal for tea lovers who want a station that makes a statement — bold, warm, and unmistakably refined. Its passionate glaze pairs beautifully with the deep ruby hues of black teas, the rich amber of roasted oolongs, and provides a stunning contrast to the pale golden liquors of fresh spring teas. Its multifunctional form also makes it a graceful addition to everyday table settings — from serving small treats to presenting fruit or dessert.
