This traditional Chinese Zisha Yixing Tea Pet Thinking Cat Sculpture by Featureshandmade in Etsy seller Tibet, China is super cute! I wanna squish his fat little kitty face, hehe.
A tea pet is a small clay figure which is kept by some tea drinkers for good luck. They are usually made of Yixing clay, from the region near Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. Just like Yixing teapots made of the same clay, tea pets are unglazed, so that they are mostly monochromatic with a rough surface.
