If you happened to see the Chinese tea ceremony Gunfu Cha, China, you probably noticed that almost all tea trays (Cheban) have a clay figurine – “茶宠” (animal of the you). It is a small work of art made of Yixing clay, which is constantly bathed during the tea ceremony as a wish for good luck and fortune. In China, tea figurines are revered on par with pets, even though they are basically small objects made to decorate the tea tray. In some Chinese family, the dragon figurine can signify the energy of the sky and symbolize a connection with the god Tao, and in another family a talisman given by a deceased grandfather, who remembers him and gives the family his wisdom.
