The Chaxi, or tea bowl, is a very important piece of teaware. If you tend to serve a lot of people, or just have a lot of cups, the chaxi is the perfect addition for you. It is mainly used as either a wash basin for cups, or as a cup storage bowl, but the chaxi is big enough to store anything else you might need it to. This particular model is available in two different versions; the first one is just a straight clay bowl while the second one is ceramic coated on the interior offering a very pretty presentation.
