Authentic Raw Mineral Iron-Body Forbidden City Red Lotus Coaster & Lid Rest - Teaware Accessories
The ClayZenith Raw Mineral Iron-Body Forbidden City Red Lotus Coaster & Lid Rest unites imperial court aesthetics with dual-purpose teaware functionality. Rendered in a deep, celebratory Forbidden City vermilion glaze over a tactile iron-rich stoneware body and sculpted in a blooming lotus contour, it protects fine surfaces while elevating ritual hygiene.
Iron-Rich Stoneware Body & Imperial Vermilion Reduction Glaze
Fired in reduction kilns at 1,300°C (2,372°F). The heavy iron-mineral body provides solid, slip-resistant tabletop stability, while the vitrified vermilion glaze is 100% stain-resistant and impervious to hot water thermal shock, catching condensation and hot drops cleanly.
