Hand-Painted Lotus Ceramic Tea Caddy with Bamboo Lid - 260ml

A compact ceramic tea caddy decorated with a hand-painted lotus motif, created for loose-leaf tea storage and for bringing a quiet Chinese aesthetic to the tea table. The soft celadon-like grey-green body, pink lotus and natural bamboo lid make this small jar both practical teaware and an easy decorative accent for the home.

Hand-Painted Lotus Tea Storage

The lotus is one of the most recognizable motifs in Chinese decorative art. Here, the flower and leaves are painted by hand across the rounded ceramic body, giving each piece subtle individual variation. At approximately 260ml, this caddy is well suited to keeping a smaller selection of loose-leaf tea close to your daily Gongfu tea setup.

How to Style It at Home

For a modern Chinese-inspired interior, place the lotus tea caddy on a dark wood tea tray, console, bookshelf or sideboard and give it some breathing room rather than surrounding it with many ornaments. Pair it with walnut, bamboo, linen, stone and handmade ceramics. The pale grey-green glaze works especially well against darker wood, while the pink lotus adds a restrained point of color.

For a tea corner, group the caddy with a small teapot or gaiwan and two cups, keeping the arrangement asymmetrical and low. For a living room or study, use it as a single decorative object beside a book, small stone or simple branch arrangement.

FAQ

What is this ceramic jar used for?

It is designed primarily as a small tea caddy for storing dry loose-leaf tea. It can also be displayed as a decorative ceramic object on a tea table, shelf or sideboard.

How much tea does 260ml hold?

260ml is the approximate volume of the container. The actual weight of tea it holds varies considerably because rolled oolong, twisted leaves and compressed or fluffy teas have different densities.

Is the lotus pattern hand painted?

Yes. The lotus decoration is hand painted, so small differences in brushwork are part of the character of each piece.

What interior style does it suit?

Its lotus motif, ceramic body and bamboo lid suit Chinese-inspired tea rooms, contemporary Chinese interiors, New Chinese Style spaces and calm interiors that use wood, linen, stone and natural materials.

How should I care for it?

Keep the caddy dry, avoid prolonged soaking of the bamboo lid, and wipe the lid with a soft dry or lightly damp cloth. Store tea away from heat, direct sunlight, moisture and strong odors.
