This adorable pig looks like a piggy bank and represents happiness and wealth. It was made by artist Wang Hong from authentic Zhu Ni clay.
The Pig is the last of the 12 zodiac signs in China and represents good luck and good fortune.
A tea pet (tea pet) is a small ceramic figurine that tea lovers hold for good luck on a coffee table during a tea ceremony. Some tea masters believe that when we adopt a tea pet, it has no soul. Pouring tea (which has a soul), we also give a soul to our little pet.
For pouring, i.e. feeding the pet, any liquid from the ceremony can be used: water used to originally heat the cups, liquid from the first rinsing of the leaves or tea residues from each soaking. It is necessary to evenly pour the liquid over the figurine. Uneven application will result in a spotted appearance. After it dries, it can be touched freely.
Each figurine may differ slightly, as it is handmade.
It comes in a decorative box.
