Two high-ranking scholars sit around the table to enjoy tea and chat freely; On the other side, a seven-character imperial poem titled “Cooking Tea in the Rain and Sleeping in the Study”, written by Emperor Qianlong in 1742, is engraved in the open light

They are placed in red sandalwood or rattan woven tea pots for the emperor to carry and rotate when traveling
