Yixing Tea Pet Figurines
紫砂茶宠
Tea pets (茶宠) are small zisha figurines kept on the tea tray. Practitioners pour leftover tea over them — the porous clay absorbs the tea, and over years the surface develops a beautiful patina. Common subjects: pixiu (mythical wealth-attracting beast), frogs, mandarin ducks, dragons, Buddhist figures.
