A small object, rich in labor and meaning. This tea scoop uses the 脱胎 (脱=removal, 胎=core) technique to create a hollow, ultra-light body by layering cloth and silica clay, then removing the mold. The result is a deep, organic form with a black interior and exterior, evoking mountain moss under night skies. Elegant, firm, and suitable for both ritual and daily use.
