About The Grand Pladenj za čaj

Grand je pladenj za čaj, zasnovan za tradicionalno kitajsko pripravo čaja. Osnovno telo je izdelano iz črnega kamna, z vložkom luksuznega kamna, postavljenim v skladu z zlatim rezom. Površina pladnja je oblikovana kot stopničasta geometrijska oblika z gradientom med višjim in nižjim nivojem. Voda teče iz višjega območja, kjer stoji čajnik, proti nižjemu območju, kjer so postavljene skodelice, nato pa odteče skozi skrit odtok. Kamen je oblikovan s CNC-obdelavo z dodatnim ročnim delom, površina pa je polirana.
