Description
A beautiful set of two horse tea pets, handcrafted in simple and elegant form. The horses carry an ingot on their back, symbolising prosperity.
Crafted from red, green and yellow Yixing clay, this charming set of horse Tea Pets captures the spirit of the Chinese Zodiac horse, symbolising strength, perseverance, and energy. The figure is sculpted with a charming, minimalist aesthetic; its rounded and simplified lines evoke a sense of childlike joy and warmth, making it an endearing object for any tea tray or table.
This piece is more than just a decorative ornament; it is a vessel of good fortune. The horse carries a large, rounded gold ingot (yuanbao/元宝) upon its back: a classic Chinese symbol of prosperity and wealth. This imagery forms a delightful visual pun: in Chinese, the phrase “horseback has money” sounds like the well-wish for “instant wealth” or “money on the way” (马上有钱). Whether chosen as a thoughtful gift for the New Year or a personal talisman for financial aspirations, this set offers a perfect blend of cultural heritage and playful artistry.
