Tea pets are small unglazed clay figurines placed on the tea table, valued for both their presence and the quiet ritual around them. Made from natural clay and left unglazed, they gradually deepen in tone as tea is poured over time, developing a unique patina with use. Subtle, tactile and timeless, tea pets are a refined detail within traditional Chinese tea practice.

These little tea pets are so funny they can’t help but make you smile. With their chubby round bodies standing upright and their square, sturdy shapes, each one has a wide red mouth showing a row of teeth, grinning in a silly, endearing way. Their gestures each have a touch of whimsy: some raise their hands as if excitedly waving hello, while others stand still with a “look how cute I am” expression, quirky and full of charm.
Handmade from clay and high-fired, they retain a rustic texture and the warmth of natural craftsmanship. On the top of their heads or even at the belly button, you can place a small incense cone. When lit, wisps of smoke rise up from their bodies, like little monsters puffing away, instantly bringing a playful, cheerful vibe to the tea table.
They are both tea pets and incense holders—adorably quiet when sitting still, but once incense is burning, they create atmosphere and charm. Small as they are, they are full of fun, and just having them on the tea table can lift your mood.
Note: When using incense cones, the area where ash gathers may leave some dark marks—this is normal. To avoid this, place a small piece of foil, a copper sheet, or another heat-resistant pad beneath the incense cone so the ash falls on the pad rather than directly on the tea pet.
