A tea pet, also known as a tea lover's pet, is a small clay figure which is kept by some tea drinkers for good luck. They are usually made of "zisha" or Yixing clay, from the regio n near Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. These adorable frog tea pets have personalities of their own along with a Lilly pad to contemplate. Just like Yixing teapots made of the same clay, tea pets are unglazed, so that they are mostly monochromatic with a rough surface. Tea lovers in China raise a tea pet by placing it on the tea tray during tea time and pouring out the tea over it. Note: As these are all handmade, the shape may be slightly different from one piece to another. Each sold separately. 2-1/2"w x 2"l x 1-1/2"h Show more
