The Wagging Tea Companion
Carved from Yixing’s raw purple sand clay, this Purple clay dog tea pet captures the spirited charm of Japanese Shiba Inu aesthetics through Chinese purple clay craftsmanship. Measuring 6.5cm long, the dog tea pet evolves under tea care – its textured fur grooves deepening into an amber-hued patina after 50+ oolong baths.
Material Authenticity
▪️ Clay Source: Unprocessed purple clay from Dingshu Town’s Huanglongshan mineral beds
▪️ Firing Process: 14-hour oxidation at 1160°C stabilizes natural iron/silicate content
▪️ Surface Behavior: Micro-pores (50-80μm) enable gradual tea oil absorption
Functional Design
- Paws angled at 112° for tray stability during tea play
- Hollow ear canals amplify pouring acoustics
- Snout ridge directs drip patterns for meditation focus
Cross-Cultural Applications
• Japanese Tea Ceremonies: Complements matcha sets as lucky washoku mascot
• Scholar’s Desk: Develops wisdom-associated patina alongside inkstone collections
• Pet Memorial: Symbolic pet substitute for pet-friendly tea spaces
Production Reality
- 38-step hand-sculpting preserves claw/nostril definition
- Zero glaze/paint – color emerges through mineral activation
- Natural fissures (<0.3mm) validate wood-kiln firing
