In the Ming dynasty, it was made like a boat. In the Kangyong (Kangxi and Yongzheng) period, the holder for a small wine cup was rounded and not hollowed, but the Song kiln was hollowed. The design over time has fixed the simplicity and clumsiness." It can be seen that the boat-shaped cup holder or saucer appeared in the Ming dynasty. Its purpose was to hold the teacup to keep the heat from the hands. Later, due to its boat-like shape, it was then named the "tea boat".
