Product detailed description

Overview
Tea pets or tea spirits (chachong 茶宠) represent various types of small figurines that accompany you during your tea time. These charming figurines are often poured with leftover tea to cultivate the bond between the tea drinker and the pet. Apart from the decorative aspect, the tea pets also hold significant cultural and symbolic meanings.

History
The tradition of using tea pets dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a golden era in China. These figurines have since become an integral part of tea ceremonies, representing a blend of artistry, tradition, and personal expression. Traditionally, the tea pets were made from various clays similar to those, which are used for making the teaware. While the tea pets often reflect the owner's personality and interests, many of the tea spirits represent various mythical creatures to bring good fortune, happiness, and prosperity to their owners.

Symbolism
The dog is often interpreted as a symbol of loyalty, protection, and devotion. Dogs are known for their faithfulness and ability to bring joy and comfort to their owners. Just as dogs faithfully accompany their masters and serve as their companions, a tea god in the shape of a dog is ideal for those who value loyalty and seek solace and tranquillity in every cup of tea. The tea god in the form of a dog can also remind us of the importance of friendship and fidelity, which are crucial both in life and in tea culture.
