Metically crafted from authentic Yixing purple clay, this cute趴卧 (lazy reclining) deer is designed to be the perfect sweet accent for any tea table or desktop. Key Features Cute, Thoughtful Design: This tea pet features a soft smiling expression, natural warm brown fur with authentic white spots, and delicate detailed antler textures. Its compact reclining pose feels relaxed and inviting, perfect for adding a cozy playful touch to your space. Authentic Yixing Purple Clay: Crafted from fine Yixing purple clay, this tea pet has a smooth, porous texture that absorbs tea oils over time. With regular watering with your tea, it will develop a rich, glossy patina that makes it uniquely yours. Meaningful Cultural Symbolism: In Chinese culture, the deer (lù) is a homophone for “prosperity and good fortune”. This little deer carries wishes of good luck, happiness, and abundance for your home. Perfect Compact Size: Measures 3.5″ x 3.3″ x 1.6″ (9 x 8.5 x 4 cm) — small enough to fit neatly on any tea table or desk without taking up too much space, and perfectly sized to hold and fidget with during your tea time. How to Enjoy Your Tea Pet Simply place your deer tea pet on your tea tray while you brew. When pouring tea, splash a little extra tea over the pet to nourish it. Over weeks and months of use, the purple clay will absorb the tea’s natural oils and develop a beautiful warm shine, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that grows more beautiful with time. It also works perfectly as a cute desktop shelf decor for your office or home when not in use for tea. Package includes: 1 x Yixing Purple Clay Sika Deer Tea Pet
