Why Tea Lovers Adore This Piece
In traditional Chinese tea culture, a tea pet is a small clay figurine kept on the tea tray and nourished with leftover tea poured over it during each session. Over time, the clay absorbs the tea's oils and develops a rich, lustrous patina — making every tea pet truly one of a kind. This Water Buffalo Ox sculpture is crafted from authentic purple clay (Zisha), the same prized material used to create legendary Yixing teapots.
