Yixing Zhu Ni Clay Handmade Sitting Guardian Lion Tea Pet

Material & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from natural Yixing Zisha white clay. The material is fine and naturally textured, fired using traditional kiln methods to achieve a soft white matte finish. Exquisite hand-carved details include the lion’s fur patterns, red-accented eyes, neck collar, and scale motifs on the back, reflecting authentic Zisha craftsmanship.

Shape Design

Inspired by traditional Chinese guardian lions: stout body in a steady sitting posture with a slightly tilted head for a playful look; large eyes highlighted with red, curly flowing mane, orange-yellow scale patterns on the back, deep blue collar on the neck, and yellow dots on the cheeks, blending majesty with lively charm.
