Common Questions

What exactly is a tea pet?

A small figure kept on the tea tray and rinsed with hot tea during gongfu sessions — this **handmade glazed glass** pony is made for exactly that role.

I want a colorful animal statue for a console table that doesn't look tacky — does this qualify?

At **5.6 cm (2.2 in) tall** in translucent glazed glass it reads as a jewel, not a toy — one pony on a tray or a stack of books looks collected rather than kitsch.

How big is it really?

Genuinely small — **5.2 cm long x 3.3 cm wide x 5.6 cm high (2.0 x 1.3 x 2.2 in)**. It disappears into a palm and never crowds a desk.

Can it hold a teapot lid?

Yes — it doubles as a **teapot lid rest** during pours, one of its three listed uses alongside tea pet and ornament.

Is it fragile?

It is **glazed glass** — treat it like your good teaware: happy on desks, trays, and shelves, not on the floor or a toddler-height edge.

Styling & Decor Suggestions

- On the tea tray beside the pot: pair it with the Sphere Ceramic Teapot and Cup Set and let the pony earn its keep as lid rest and tea pet in one.
- At the desk, by the monitor's base: 5.6 cm is short enough to never block the screen — a fixed point for the eyes between tabs.
- On a shelf cluster: group it with two or three small vessels in odd numbers; the translucent glaze picks up light the matte pieces can't.
- Skip the open windowsill by a busy walkway — glazed glass and stray elbows are a bad pairing.
