Pocket-Sized Tea Ritualist
These thumb-sized clay teapots cute companions (1#:7cm / 2#:6.5cm) reimagine traditional tea pets as functional art. Cast from unglazed Yixing purple clay, each mini teapot sculpture mimics ceremonial utensils at a 1:6 scale, developing a silken patina through repeated tea nurturing.
Structural Precision
🍵 Micro-Engineering:
- 0.3cm spout opening allows controlled tea-dripping practice
- The hollow interior amplifies pour acoustics (distinct “water chime”)
- The ergonomic arched handle accommodates adult fingertips
Material Evolution
- Raw Zisha clay from Yixing’s Huanglongshan mine
- Natural iron/silica content creates self-sealing surfaces over 30+ uses
- Matte → semi-gloss transformation mirrors antique teaware aging
Functional Contexts
• Tea Education: Trains precise pouring angles for gongfu beginners
• Vehicle Decor: Non-slip base adheres to dashboard textures
• Collection Display: Showcases miniature ceramics craftsmanship
Production Notes
- 48-hour wood kiln firing at 1120°C preserves clay breathability
- No artificial pigments; color variances stem from mineral distribution
- Surface pinholes (<0.1mm) validate handmade molding
Package Includes: 1 cute tea pet teapot (size selected pre-shipment)
Tolerances: ±0.2cm height/width; natural clay shrinkage post-firing
