Three-Legged Money Toad Mascot Yixing Handmade Zisha Tea Pet

1. Material and Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from Yixing original red clay (Zhu Ni) with dimensions 11cm L × 10cm W × 10cm H. The material is fine and smooth, fired with strict control. Details like toad skin textures, coins, and the single horn are exquisitely carved, reflecting traditional Zisha craftsmanship.

2. Shape Design

Designed as a “three-legged money toad” (San Zu Jin Chan): plump body with clear bumpy textures and scales; a single horn on the head, wide-open eyes, holding a coin in the mouth, and carrying a string of coins on the back; powerful limbs in a crouching posture, combining dynamic vigor with auspicious charm.

3. Symbolic Meaning

A traditional wealth-attracting mascot in Chinese culture, symbolizing prosperity, business success, and protection against evil. Often gifted to tea enthusiasts and business partners to convey blessings of good fortune.

4. User Experience

Can be nurtured with tea liquor, developing a smoother and more lustrous reddish patina over time. Adds interactive fun and aesthetic charm to tea sessions, perfect for play and decoration.

5. Scene and Value

Ideal for Chinese-style tea spaces, studies, office desks, or display shelves. Serves as both a cultural decoration and a collectible item, merging artistic value with symbolic meaning.
