Cloaked in lacquer and finely painted, this tea tray would have been a family's favored serving tray. While the flowers and vines are the immediate stand outs, a closer look reveals a pheasant, subtly picked out of the lacquer, perched atop a stem. Pheasants represented nobility and refinement, the perfect bird to accompany the rituals surrounding tea in traditional Chinese culture.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
