Yogi Tea Pet Handmade Ceramic Frog Ceramic

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. 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.
