Crafted from materials like jade, ceramic, wood, and stone, tea pets come in a myriad of forms. We break free from traditional constraints and conventional notions, favoring distinctive designs and collectible value. We revel in imaginative creations. The stones are sourced from various regions across Taiwan, sometimes discovered during travels, other times sought with dedication. Thus, each stone becomes its own protagonist. As we carve, stories from mountains and seas freely unfold, and we hope you can feel this sentiment in these moments. ♪⁠~ The Benefits of a Tea Pet ~⁠♪⁠ The sole benefit is tranquility. Eschewing complex rituals, it appeals to all tastes. During tea brewing, the tea pet is a serene confidant. With regular application of tea water, or by pouring leftover tea over it, the tea pet will gradually develop a lustrous patina over time, exuding a rich tea aroma. With prolonged use, it will acquire a warm, appealing hue, adding a unique rustic charm to your tea set. Furthermore, tea pets also serve as hand-held ornaments. As the name suggests, they are pets to be held and admired. Under the gentle touch of tea lovers, they gradually develop a "patina," a coloration that alters their original appearance. They gain a warm, lustrous sheen and an approachable, aged look, akin to a radiant mask, full of character. * Product Name: Taiwanese Greenish Mudstone Hand-Carved Catfish Tea Pet Dimensions: Length 9.1 cm x Width 4.6 cm x Height 3.0 cm (These are maximum measurements from manual measurement, slight variations are inevitable) Origin: Chiayi, Taiwan Craftsmanship: Hand-carved, suitable for gifting and collection Base: This product does not include a base.
