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 tea 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. Handcrafted from Yixing Duan Ni clay, this tiger tea pet is hand painted with attention to the smallest details. Associated with courage, willpower, and strength, tigers are the third zodiac sign in the Chinese astrological calendar. Its vibrant colors will bring a hint of playful charm to your tea session. Each tea pet comes nestled in its own velvet-lined box, secured with a brass latch, perfect for gift giving.Product Dimensions: 3.2" H x 2.2" W x 1.6" D Enjoy reading our Introduction to Tea Pets blog post!
