About The Grand Plateau à thé
Le Grand est un plateau à thé conçu pour la préparation du thé selon la tradition chinoise. Le corps principal est réalisé en pierre noire, rehaussé d'une incrustation de pierre précieuse disposée selon le nombre d'or. La surface du plateau adopte une forme géométrique en gradins, avec un dégradé entre les niveaux hauts et bas. L'eau s'écoule depuis la zone surélevée, où repose la théière, vers la zone inférieure, où sont disposées les tasses, avant de s'évacuer par une sortie dissimulée. La pierre est façonnée par usinage CNC, complété par un travail manuel, puis la surface est polie.
