Cover rest, also known as cover holder, is a kind of tea ceremony utensil, playing an important role in the practice of tea ceremony. It is often small in size, but many masterpieces are cleverly designed and elegant in shape, exhibiting high artistic quality in itself.
The cover rest is used to place kettle covers, cup covers, or water kettle covers. Its purpose is to prevent the water droplets from these covers from dripping onto the tabletop or touching the tabletop, which may be unhygienic. The tray should be larger than these covers and have grooves to collect water droplets.
This cover rest is adorned with the Chinese national treasure - the panda, exhibiting a charming and cute side amidst elegance.
