Add a bold and contemporary touch to your Gongfu tea table with our "Great White Shark" Tea Pet. This meticulously hand-finished ceramic figurine captures the shark in a striking, wide-mouthed pose, revealing rows of detailed teeth.

Technical Specifications & Dimensions
Design & Aesthetic Features
MODERN AQUATIC SERIES
- Dynamic Silhouette: Features an aggressive yet artistic "breaching" pose with an open mouth, serving as a unique conversation piece.
- Exceptional Detailing: Individually sculpted teeth and gills provide a high level of realism rarely seen in traditional tea pets.
- Seasoning Texture: The unglazed, matte ceramic body is highly porous, allowing it to absorb tea oils effectively to develop a smooth, dark patina over time.
- Stability: Designed with a wide, flat underside to remain perfectly balanced on wooden, stone, or bamboo trays.
Cultivation & Care Ritual
To cultivate the character of your Great White Shark:
- The Ritual: Pour hot tea or the "wash" directly into the open mouth or over the body. The heat helps the ceramic pores open for better seasoning.
- Maintenance: Use a tea brush to clear any tea sediment from the fine details around the teeth and gills for a clean appearance.
- Cleaning: Rinse with clear warm water only. Avoid soaps or detergents, as the porous material will absorb chemical scents.
