Two-Tone Cloth Chaxi Mat

A thick placemat to set under tea boats, pot holders, or teaware directly, the absorbent cloth protects the surface beneath from errant drops of tea and water and creates a pleasing background for clayware and ceramics of any style. The mats have been sewn from two layers of differently colored cloth, providing both additional padding as well as aesthetic alternatives. Combinations of mats can be used for multiple tea drinkers or to create decorative patterns, then rolled away for storage when not in use. A simple and understated way to refine the tea drinking experience.
