Hand-carved Black Pebble Tea Pet, Moon Rabbit Style, Customizable Tea Plaything for Gifting and Collection

A "tea pet" is an object cherished by tea enthusiasts, nurtured with tea leaves and fondled in hand. It serves as a sanctuary for the heart and an outlet for wandering thoughts. In terms of craftsmanship, tea pets are made from materials like jade, ceramic, wood, and stone, with a wide variety of forms. These range from traditional auspicious or wealth-attracting creatures like Pixiu and toads, to figures inspired by Zen aesthetics or everyday life, such as little monks, insects, fish, and birds. ✦ What is the function of a tea pet? Its sole function is to bring tranquility. Setting aside complex rituals, a tea pet offers a shared pleasure in tea appreciation. During tea preparation, it acts as a silent companion, a steadying presence that calms the mind. When drinking tea, one can use a tea brush to gently apply tea soup or pour leftover warm tea directly over the pet. Over time, the tea pet will gradually acquire a warm, appealing sheen and a rich tea aroma, developing a lustrous hue imbued with the character of age. This adds a touch of understated beauty to your tea set. Furthermore, a tea pet is also a "handheld piece," meant to be held, admired, and caressed. Under the gentle touch of a tea lover's palm, the stone's surface will gradually develop a "patina" and subtle coloration, transforming its original appearance. It will gain a warm, oily luster and an inviting antique feel, akin to a protective, lustrous mask, full of subtle charm. In terms of design, the "Fish Bowl" collection transcends conventional imagery and sheds the burden of clichés. We favor unique designs, collectible value, and uninhibited imagination. Our stones are sourced from across Taiwan, sometimes discovered during our travels, other times sought with dedication. Thus, each stone is its own protagonist, and as we carve, stories from mountains and shores freely unfold. We hope that within these moments of tea's fragrance, you too can feel this romantic spirit of handmade creation. ✦ Product Specifications and Style Details Origin: Chiayi, Taiwan Material: Black Pebble (Black Pearl Stone / Black River Stone) Craftsmanship: Purely hand-carved, suitable for gifts and collection Style: Moon Rabbit Dimensions: Length 6 x Width 5.4 x Height 3.4 cm (These are maximum dimensions; slight variations are unavoidable due to manual measurement, please accept our apologies) Base Description: This product does not include a base.

Like gemstones, stones possess an inherent resilience, but drops, strong impacts, or sudden changes in temperature (extreme heat or cold) can cause them to crack or break. Please avoid prolonged exposure of the tea pet to intense direct sunlight. Do not use cleaning agents with strong acidic or alkaline properties, or organic solvents, as they may corrode the stone's surface. ★ Care Instructions: For daily cleaning, simply wipe gently with a dry cloth. For deep maintenance, you may apply a tiny drop of baby oil or Vaseline to the surface, then wipe clean with a dry cotton cloth to restore its warm luster. When not in use or for storage, the tea pet can be placed in used tea water or kept in a safe, dry location.
