Masterfully sculpted from high-fire ceramic, this figurine captures a whale in a dynamic breaching pose, with its tail curved elegantly upward.

Cultivation & Care Guide

To cultivate a beautiful patina on your Whale Tea Pet:

The Ritual: Pour hot tea or the initial "tea wash" directly over the whale. The steam and oils will slowly deepen the natural color of the clay.
Grooming: Use a tea brush to spread the liquid into the ventral grooves for uniform color and luster development.
Safe Cleaning: Hand wash with warm water only. Avoid soaps or chemical detergents, as the porous ceramic will absorb artificial scents.
