Symbolizing good fortune, a tea pet is a ceramic figurine from China, usually made from Yixing clay. A traditional practice in China is to nourish your tea pet by rinsing it with t ea liquor, which helps it to develop a beautiful aroma and patina over time. Part of a Chinese tea ceremony, it is usually placed on a tea tray when one is making tea. Proudly displaying an adorable panda shoulder bag, this roly-poly bear friend yearns to be your new tea companion. Created from white Yixing clay finished with black clay pigments, it stands 2.6 inches tall by 2.3 inches wide. Each tea pet comes nestled in its own velvet-lined box, secured with a brass latch, perfect for gift giving. Enjoy reading our Introduction to Tea Pets blog post! Show more
