The compact proportions soften the character without losing his recognisable presence, allowing the tea pet to sit naturally beside a teapot, gaiwan or tea tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is handcrafted from Zisha (紫砂), an unglazed ceramic material valued for its warm, earthy colour and finely textured surface.

Great Sage brings an additional narrative element to this tradition, pairing an iconic Chinese character with the quieter ritual of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive details is Sun Wukong's legendary staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (如意金箍棒). While it completes the character visually, the staff is also designed as a functional double-ended Tea Pick (茶針). Removing the protective metal end caps reveals stainless-steel tools concealed within the wooden staff: a pointed end for working into compressed tea and a flatter blade-like end for carefully separating tea cakes, bricks or tightly pressed leaves. When not in use, both ends are enclosed again so the piece returns to the appearance of Sun Wukong's signature staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent poses give the figure a distinct character.

Crafted from Moso bamboo, each piece creates a defined resting place for a teapot, gaiwan, teacup or small tea-table object while introducing the warmth and natural grain of bamboo into the tea setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tray combines a smoothly finished Moso bamboo frame with a fitted bamboo mat insert. The tray body remains the same natural bamboo construction across all variants, while the bamboo mat is available in two different colours. This allows the overall form and structure to remain consistent while giving the centre of the tray either a lighter or deeper visual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe closely spaced strips allow the bamboo mat to let water and occasional spilled tea pass through quickly rather than collect around the teaware above. This makes the trays particularly practical for Gongfu brewing, where warming vessels, rinsing teaware, and pouring away excess water are a natural part of the tea session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised bamboo surround helps contain water within the tray while visually framing the vessel placed inside. Beneath the bamboo mat, the solid bamboo base gives the piece stability and structure. Together, the layered construction creates a lighter, more refined appearance than a heavy solid-wood tea tray while still giving the teaware a defined and deliberate place on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection is offered in nine forms, each bringing its own visual character and, in several cases, a traditional auspicious meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFulu (福祿) expresses the wish for good fortune and prosperity. Offered in both small and large proportions, its rounded form works naturally beneath individual cups, gaiwans or smaller teapots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYuanman (圓滿) means completeness and fulfilment. Its balanced rounded silhouette creates a calm, centred presentation for a single brewing vessel or teacup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiuhe (六合) traditionally refers to the six directions — heaven, earth and the four cardinal directions — and by extension conveys a sense of harmony and completeness. Its more structured outline gives the tea table a composed architectural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuyi (如意) means “as one wishes” and is one of the most enduring auspicious ideas in Chinese decorative culture. The Ruyi Square and Ruyi Rectangle trays translate this symbolism into two practical formats, one compact and one elongated for arranging multiple smaller tea objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Begonia (海棠) designs draw from the softly lobed outline of the begonia flower. Available in rounded and squarer interpretations, they introduce gentle curvature without becoming overly decorative. The Cloud (雲朵) form offers a softer flowing silhouette inspired by traditional cloud imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bamboo mat is available in two colour finishes. Natural Bamboo color keeps the centre light and warm, allowing the bamboo texture to remain visually prominent. Sandalwood Tone gives the bamboo mat a deeper, more subdued appearance that creates stronger contrast against the surrounding natural bamboo frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir compact scale makes these trays especially useful as individual brewing trays within a larger Gongfu tea arrangement.

Fulu (福祿) expresses the wish for good fortune and prosperity, while Ruyi (如意) literally carries the idea of things unfolding “as one wishes”. Yuanman (圓滿) conveys completeness and fulfilment, reflected in its balanced rounded silhouette.
