This Pixiu Purple Clay Ceramic Tea Pet is a hand-modeled figurine of the mythical beast in a crouching pose, shaped from matte dark purple clay with gilded horns, ears, whiskers, claws, and tail tips. Each version rests a forepaw on a gilded prop — an engraved ball or a boat-shaped yuanbao ingot. Standing about 11.5 cm long, it is made for display on a tea tray, tea table, or desk, where the clay surface is traditionally warmed and darkened by the tea poured over it during a session.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Pixiu: In Chinese folk belief, the pixiu is a mythical creature whose image has traditionally been associated with wealth, safeguarding the home, and good fortune, and it has long been used as a decorative motif in ornaments and tea-table figures. Here it is modeled alert and forward-facing, with carved mane, scale, and brow detail across the body.
Yuanbao ingot: The yuanbao is an old form of Chinese silver and gold currency. In Chinese folk tradition its boat-shaped silhouette has long served as a decorative emblem of prosperity, and on the ingot version the pixiu holds one in its forepaw, finished in the same bright gilding.
Engraved ball: On the ball versions, the pixiu's paw rests on a gilded sphere decorated with small coin patterns that echo the round-with-square-hole shape of ancient Chinese cash coins.
Tea pet tradition: Small clay companions like this one belong to the Chinese tea-table custom of the tea pet — a figurine kept on the tray and moistened with tea rinses during brewing, a practice valued for the slow darkening of the clay and the quiet ritual of tending it.

Why You'll Love This Figurine
- The matte purple clay against gilded horns and claws gives the piece strong visual contrast that reads clearly from across a tea table.
- At roughly 11.5 x 7.5 x 10 cm it is substantial enough to be a focal point yet small enough to share a tray with teapots and cups.
- Four versions — ball or ingot, plain or gold — let you match the prop or buy a pair for symmetry.
Care Instructions
Dust with a soft dry cloth when not in use. If you pour tea over it as a working tea pet, rinse occasionally with warm water and let it air dry fully; avoid soap and detergents, which the porous clay absorbs. Keep the gilded details away from abrasive wiping so the gold accents are not rubbed through, and set the figurine down on a stable surface away from the edge of the tray.
Frequently Asked Questions
The photo shows two figurines — how many do I receive?
One. The package is listed as 1*Decoration, so each order includes a single figurine in the version you choose. Buy two if you want the matched pair shown in the product photo.
What is the difference between the four versions?
All four share the same crouching pixiu model. The ball versions pose the paw on a coin-patterned sphere and the ingot versions on a boat-shaped yuanbao; the gold variants carry more extensive gilding on the prop and details. Choose by which prop and how much gold accent you prefer.
Is it really purple clay, and will its look change over time?
The listing states the material as Ceramic, Purple Clay. Like other unglazed clay tea pets, the matte surface gradually darkens and takes on a deeper sheen where tea is poured over it — that slow change is the point of the tradition, not a defect.
Will it fit on my tea tray or desk?
The figurine measures about 11.5*7.5*10cm, so it sits comfortably on a standard tea tray beside a teapot, or on a shelf or desk as a standalone ornament. Allow a little extra room if you plan to pair two.
How fragile is the gilded detailing?
The clay body is fired ceramic and sturdy under normal display use, but it is still breakable if dropped, and the gold accents can wear if scrubbed. Handle it by the body rather than the horns or tail, and clean only with a soft dry cloth or a warm water rinse.
