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

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
