Tea Table Arrangement

Tea Table Arrangement is a fine art in China. Through prudent selection and placement of tea-wares, table cloth and accessories, it brews imagination and creativity into a tea ritual.

Below are some shots taken from the Tea Table Arrangement Contest.


The first set looks a bit crowed, it would be better to take off both the bamboo mat and the dark blue cloth mat underneath; use a plain color table cloth (pale color) to replace the one with floral prints; and exchange the green-lid tea tin with a porcelain caddy in the same hue as the teapot.

 


The second set is nice. The casual placement of purple petals echoing with the paintings on the teapots. If I must be picky, the only drawback is the size of the white tea displayer on the brown mat.
