Gourd-shaped urn
The gourd-shaped urn for herbal tea and bowls of the decoction ready for consumption, covered to prevent dust, are a familiar sight associated with the traditional herbal tea shop. The gourd has long been associated with “herbal doctors” in Chinese culture and history through an ancient legend, hence the icon.
