1. A Charming Deity Arrives on Your Tea Tray
Imagine the mighty God of Wealth transformed into an adorable, chibi-style figure, beaming with joy as he cradles a gleaming gold ingot, happily taking his place on your tea tray. It feels as if good fortune and delight have been instantly invited into your home. This is more than teaware; it is a daily companion and auspicious mascot, meant to help you cultivate an atmosphere of prosperity. Through the ritual of tea and sincere care, let this little deity guard the warmth and abundance of your tea space.
2. Design & Craftsmanship: Divine Charm, Modern Cuteness
· Whimsical Sculpture: A masterful blend of the traditional God of Wealth's majestic, benevolent image with modern, chibi aesthetics. His expression is jovial and kind, his posture charmingly pudgy, and the ingot in his arms is perfectly plump. The soft, flowing lines create an approachable and joyful feel, making a sacred blessing touchable and fun.
· Premium Clay: Crafted from selected, original mineral Yixing clay (options include Zhu Ni, Zi Ni, or Jiang Po Ni). The pure, granular clay, with its unique double-porosity structure, readily absorbs the essence of tea. Over time, it will develop a lustrous, jade-like patina that grows richer with use.
· Artisan's Touch: Shaped using traditional Yixing sculpting techniques and finished by hand. Every detail—from the deity's smiling eyes and robe folds to the ingot's generous form—is meticulously crafted, brimming with life. Fired at high temperature for a durable, earthy finish.
· Perfectly Palmed: At approximately 6cm H x 4.8cm W x 5.1cm L and ~88g, its size is delightfully compact, fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand. It is ideal for placement on your tea tray or for mindful handling during quiet moments.
3. Symbolism: Attracting Fortune, Nurturing Luck
· Wealth Embodied: The God of Wealth is a revered symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture. Cradling the gold ingot directly symbolizes "embracing wealth," attracting abundant resources and flourishing business.
· Joy Invites Prosperity: His infectious, chibi smile represents cultivating a joyful and harmonious heart in all dealings—reminding us that "harmony begets wealth" and that goodwill naturally attracts blessings.
· Clay Nurtured, Fortune Cultivated: The process of nurturing this Yixing piece with tea, watching it grow more lustrous, mirrors the accumulation of wealth and good fortune. As you patiently care for it, you also cultivate your own patience and character.
· A Ritual of Blessing: Each act of pouring tea over him and gently wiping him clean is not just maintenance, but a small, ritualistic gesture of inviting good wishes into your daily routine.
4. Yixing Clay Care Guide
1. Initial Awakening: Rinse with clean water, then submerge in plain water (a small amount of tea leaves can be added). Bring to a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes. Let cool naturally in the water and dry. This removes any residual kiln dust and prepares the clay for nurturing.
2. Daily Nurturing:
· Pouring Tea: Regularly pour warm tea liquor evenly over the entire piece, paying extra attention to the ingot.
· Gentle Polishing: While still warm, gently wipe with a soft, absorbent cloth to spread the tea oils evenly, encouraging a smooth shine.
· Resting: Allow it to air-dry naturally in a ventilated spot on your tea tray after each session.
3. Sincere Care:
· Using one type of tea (e.g., black tea, Pu'er) is recommended for more uniform color development.
· The mindful process of care is itself a rewarding practice.
