Care & Ritual Guide
To preserve the artistic quality of your ceramic guardian:
- Manual Cleaning: Rinse with plain warm water. Avoid detergents, as the porous clay may absorb chemicals.
- Patina Development: When used as a tea pet, pour tea liquor over the lion regularly to cultivate a smooth, seasoned finish.
- Ash Removal: Gently brush away incense residue after use to prevent buildup in the intricate textured areas.
