What is the name of this teaware and where can i find it
I am looking for an unglazed clay bowl, preferably chaozhou red clay, like this https://teaism99.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/image2.jpeg
I cannot find out what this is called, and i cant find one being sold anywhere. I’ve seen bowl like this referred to as chaxi, listed as “boats” or “trays”, bitterleaf calls them “pot supports”
any ideas on what this thing is called and where to look for one?
I think it is a tea bowl. Hiragata according to this chart?

This Etsy store has a set that includes one. Maybe you could ask if they sell them separately.

Not sure this is quite right. The shape of the hiragata seems correct but all the instances of the bowl I can find are Chinese tea brewing, specifically chaozhou style
Chaxi refers to a tea stage, so bowls like this are just part of it. I’ve seen these most often referred to as tea boats. It can be a bit hard to find plain ones. They often come with some sort of support or platform for the middle.
Unfortunately already tried looking for tea boats and couldn’t find what I was looking for
This shop makes some fine pottery. I have a teaboat from here. They will custom make items as well.

You can also find something similar at Yunnan Sourcing.
I happened to see this tea washer in a shop. Tea washer is also known as tea spoon or waste water spoon. For holding the cold tea, waste water and tea dregs. Tea Washers, a constituent part of Chaozhou Kongfu tea set.

I saw that there is a style similar to what you want, you can go to this store to see.It has a detailed introduction about tea washer. It can help you learn more about tea washer.
You are all right about Chaxi but I’m afraid in Carpet Blanket’s picture, it is not a Chaxi. It’s a Teapot holder(Pinyin:Hu Cheng). We local Yixing folks put zisha teapot in it when brewing teas.Similar like the function of a tea tray.If you want to know more I can show you more of those with pictures.
