In celebration of International Tea Day, we're taking a closer look at these three 19th - 20th century tea bowls. Each is uniquely and beautifully designed, constructed of wood or dzab root and silver. Tibetan and Himalayan community members are well-known for their love of tea, especially butter tea!
