Jin Chahai 270 ml

This chahai features a rustic clay blend and a smooth texture. Its only decorative element is the irregular lines known as mogake (藻がけ). This effect is created by wrapping the piece in algae, which leaves traces when burned later. This makes each piece unique. The chahai serves as a serving pitcher into which the tea is poured after steeping, allowing it to be poured into additional cups. This ensures that the infusion remains consistent. In Gongfu tea, this utensil is called a chahai, while in Japanese, it is known as a katakuchi. It can also be used as a cooling vessel or yuzamashi. With a capacity of 270 ml, it is large enough for most teapots and hōhin.
