What is a tea pet?

A tea pet is a small clay figurine. It is traditionally kept by tea drinkers in China. It is typically placed on the tea tray during the tea ceremony, and is sometimes also a home decoration.

There are both Yixing style and Jingdezhen style tea pets. Yixing style ones are made from Yixing clay or Zisha. While the Jingdezhen tea pets are usually made of glazed porcelain or earthenware. And also the design inspirations are often from animals or mythical creatures.

What’s the history of tea pet?

Tea pets are a Chinese tradition dating back centuries. They are small figurines that keep tea drinkers company and are often given as gifts.

The tradition of tea pets began during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). During this time, tea drinking was very popular and tea houses were frequented by the upper classes. Tea pets also first appeared during this time.

Tea pets were originally made from clay or porcelain and were designed to look like animals or mythical creatures. They were often given as gifts to friends or family members.

Over time, the tradition spread to other parts of Asia and eventually to the West. Today, they are still popular in China and are often given as gifts. Moreover, they are also becoming increasingly popular in the West as people learn about this unique tradition.
