This is a 1970s deadstock glass tea leaf holder (chaze) used at the tea ceremony at the tea house "Xiao Man" in Taipei. It is a tool that symbolizes the Taiwanese and Chinese tea culture of the time, and at Xiao Man's tea ceremonies, it was used to serve tea leaves and sweets. This item has never been used after purchase and has been stored as a new, unused item. It has the unique undulations and expressions of glass, and has a quiet presence that is not found in modern mass-produced products. In recent years, old tea utensils from Xiao Man are extremely rare in circulation, and deadstock items in good condition are even rarer. This is a recommended item for those who are studying Chinese and Taiwanese tea, and for tea utensil collectors. 【Size】 ・Diameter: Approximately 11cm ・Height: Approximately 1-1.5cm ※There may be individual differences due to the handmade nature of the product. 【Condition】 ・New, unused (deadstock) ・No chips or cracks ※Please check the photos as it is a long-term storage item. 【Recommended Uses】 ・Chinese/Taiwanese tea ceremonies ・Tea leaf holder (chaze) ・As a sweet dish, incense stand, or display object
