Echizen Chahai 180 ml

Chahai (Katakuchi), stoneware

This utensil serves as a serving pitcher into which the tea is poured after steeping, so that further cups can be filled. The advantage is that this makes the infusion homogeneous. In Gongfucha, the utensil is called chahai, while in Japanese it is called katakuchi. With a capacity of 180 ml, it is large enough for medium-sized teapots and Hôhin.
