This glazed Suanni tea pet is crafted from clay and fired at high temperatures, with its surface coated in vibrant glazes. The interplay of blue, red, and white colors gives it a lively and playful character. With wide-open eyes, a goofy grin showing its teeth, and a tongue playfully sticking out, the Suanni retains the auspicious symbolism of the mythical beast while adding a touch of whimsy and humor.
The top of its head is specially designed with a small recess that can hold cone incense or backflow incense. Once lit, wisps of smoke rise gracefully, as if the Suanni were exhaling mist, harmonizing with its comical expression. This creates a charming visual effect while enhancing the refined and dynamic atmosphere of the tea table.
In traditional Chinese culture, the Suanni is regarded as a guardian creature that wards off evil and symbolizes peace and good fortune. This glazed Suanni tea pet serves not only as a delightful ornament for the tea table but also as a cultural piece embodying protection and auspiciousness. It is equally suitable for playful display, practical incense use, and as an elegant decorative piece in daily tea gatherings or interior spaces.
