One Small Object Worth Setting Down Carefully.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ovanyu Zinc Alloy \u0026amp; Nan Bamboo Cup Coaster is built from two materials working in combination: a zinc alloy outer frame cast in one of five silhouettes — two petal forms, two round forms, and one square — and a nan bamboo woven insert fitted into the recessed center. The alloy frame carries a fine leopard-spot relief texture across its face and is finished in an antique silver tone that reads closer to aged pewter than bright chrome. The bottom is hand-ground by the maker to sit flat and stable on the table surface. The bamboo insert is woven in a standard over-under pattern from nan bamboo strips and provides the contact surface for the cup base. Five forms are available, each approximately 7.5–8.0 cm in diameter — sized to work under a standard gongfu teacup or small glazed cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZinc Alloy Frame with Leopard Relief Texture\u003c\/strong\u003e — The outer frame is cast from zinc alloy and carries a fine, all-over leopard-spot relief pattern across the face and rim. The texture is cast into the alloy rather than applied to the surface, so it is part of the material structure and does not wear off with use. The antique silver finish gives the frame a muted, aged tone that sits naturally alongside dark ceramic, clay teaware, and wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNan Bamboo Woven Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e — The center insert is woven from nan bamboo strips in an over-under weave. The bamboo surface provides a slightly cushioned, textured contact point for the cup base and a material contrast to the metal frame around it. The warm amber tone of the bamboo weave against the grey alloy is the primary visual detail of the coaster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Ground Base for Stability\u003c\/strong\u003e — The bottom of each coaster is hand-ground by the maker to ensure it sits flat on the table without rocking. The ground surface also means the coaster does not scratch tray or table surfaces when moved during a session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive Forms: Two Petal, Two Round, One Square\u003c\/strong\u003e — The five silhouettes offer practical variety for different table arrangements. The petal forms have a scalloped edge that adds visual interest at small scale; the round forms are the most neutral; the square form suits a more geometric table arrangement. All five are approximately the same working diameter (7.5–8.0 cm) and function identically under a cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and Stackable\u003c\/strong\u003e — At 0.8–1.3 cm in height, each coaster sits low on the table and does not raise the cup noticeably. Multiple coasters of the same form stack cleanly for storage, taking up minimal tray space when not in individual use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy, leopard relief texture, antique silver finish, hand-ground base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nan bamboo woven strip (over-under weave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Forms and Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetal A: 7.7 cm × 7.7 cm × H1.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound Small: 7.7 cm × 7.7 cm × H1.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare: 7.8 cm × 7.8 cm × H0.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetal B: 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm × H1.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound Large: 8.0 cm × 8.0 cm × H1.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe the alloy frame dry after use; avoid prolonged water contact on the bamboo insert; do not soak; the alloy finish can be wiped with a soft cloth to maintain its tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle cup use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the coaster on the tea tray or table surface and set a teacup or small cup directly on the bamboo woven center.

Wipe both elements together with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the antique silver finish tarnish over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Zinc alloy with an antique silver finish develops minor surface variation with handling over time, which typically adds to the aged, patinated appearance of the piece rather than degrading it. Wiping with a soft cloth periodically will maintain the surface without removing the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What size teacup does this fit under?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The coasters are sized at 7.5–8.0 cm in diameter, which accommodates the base of most standard gongfu teacups (typically 4.5–6 cm base diameter) with a visible frame border around the cup base. They are not sized for large mugs or Western-style cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I mix different forms on the same tea table?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. All five forms share the same alloy material and finish, so mixing silhouettes — for example, using petal and round forms together — is visually coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Round Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 1","offer_id":44042726080575,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Round Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 2","offer_id":44042726113343,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"\"Lotus Rhyme\" Zinc Alloy Coaster – No. 1","offer_id":44042726146111,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"\"Lotus Rhyme\" Zinc Alloy Coaster – No. 2","offer_id":44042726178879,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Petal-Shaped Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 1","offer_id":44042726211647,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Petal-Shaped Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 2","offer_id":44042726244415,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lotus-Shaped Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 1","offer_id":44042726277183,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lotus-Shaped Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 2","offer_id":44042726309951,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Square Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 1","offer_id":44042726342719,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Square Zinc Alloy Coaster No. 2","offer_id":44042726375487,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/ovanyu-01-01_processed_shopify.jpg?v=1790915342","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/tea-accessories-zinc-alloy-nan-bamboo-woven-cup-coaster","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
