{"product_id":"ceramic-frog-tea-pet","title":"Ceramic Frog Tea Pet","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCeramic frog tea pet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis frog tea pet is a small hand-painted stoneware figure that sits on the tea table and is fed with leftover tea. There are three poses to choose from: one sitting cross-legged with its hands together and a string of white beads, one lying flat with its back legs kicked up, and one lounging on its side with its head propped on one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a coarse, speckled off-white clay, unglazed apart from the black glazed eyes, with red stripes painted on the cheeks and limbs. Because the clay is bare, it drinks up tea as you pour it over, dries quickly, and slowly darkens and takes on a sheen over months of use. Each one is formed and painted by hand, so sizes and markings vary a little from frog to frog, and small pinholes or specks in the clay are part of how they come out of the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are small. The meditating frog is about 5 cm tall and the other two are under 7 cm long, so they fit on a saucer, a tea tray, or the lotus leaf incense dish we sell alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeditating frog:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 4 x 3.5 x 4.8 cm, 35 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLying frog:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 5.5 x 3.5 x 3 cm, 28 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLounging frog:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 6.5 x 2.2 x 3.2 cm, 25 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-fired coarse stoneware, hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e one frog; the lotus leaf dish is a separate product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThis works well for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA first tea pet, since it needs nothing more than the tea you are already pouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitting on the lotus leaf incense dish, which it was made to go with\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small gift for someone with a tea tray or a desk that could use some company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollecting all three poses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are in Hobart, the three frogs are on the shelf at our Salamanca Tea Bar, so you can see the poses side by side before you pick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for your tea pet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour leftover tea over it during your sessions, give it a wipe with a soft tea brush or cloth now and then, and let it dry on the tray.
