Perfect for any Kung Fu teatime, the artisan-made ornament will make a distinctive addition to your collection of Chinese Gongfu teaware.

Measuring approximately 5cm x 5 cm x 3cm, this delicate piece is a work of art.

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 region near Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. 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.

The price listed is for one ornament. 

No two ornaments are alike, embodying the pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship. Individually created by the artisan's hand, subtle variations between pieces are to be expected.

We aim to ship your order in reused/ recycled packaging where possible.

Gorgeous wee tea pet 🍵. Considering what to call him. Water shoots quite a distance in the air. For those unsure how to get this to work.
2 bowls, one empty one with cold water.
Put tea pet in empty bowl and pour boiling hot water over it.
Swap tea pet into cold water while still hot and ensure hole in frogs mouth is under the water. Whilst it cools it will such water in through this hole.
I usually leave it submerged for a few minutes while I prepare everything else.
When you then pour hot water over it again it will spout water.
