Care & Nourishment Guide

To cultivate the perfect patina on your Pious Otter:

The Ritual: Pour hot tea or the initial "wash" directly over the otter to "feed" the ceramic pores.
Maintenance: Use a soft tea brush to spread liquid evenly, ensuring a consistent color transition across the figure.
Cleaning: Rinse with clean, warm water only. Avoid detergents as the porous material will absorb chemical scents.
