Handmade Yixing Zisha Clay top Tea Pet Hippo FJ1043

Material: Yixing Zisha clay
Dimensions: 100x80x102mm
Origin: China
Description: The tea pet is a small clay figurine that is placed on your tea table, joining you for some tea. Just like Yixing teapots made of the same clay, tea pets are unglazed and are mostly monochromatic with a rough surface, top that is better to absorb the tea.

A tea pet is typically placed on a tea tray and has tea poured over it during tea time. Due to the tea pet's unglazed nature, the figurine absorbs some of the tea, resulting in the tea pet changing color over time, as well as building up a tea scent.

The price is for one unit only.
