“Zisha Pulao Bell-Tea Pet: Echoes of a Myth”
Crafted from rare Dingshu Town Yellow Dragon Mountain purple clay, this sculpture captures Pulao — the 4th son of the Chinese Dragon. With horns inherited from his dragon father and wings from his toad mother (per ancient texts), its coiled tail mirrors the beast’s historic role as a bell handle guardian.
As Records of the Western Capital (3rd century CE) recounts: “Pulao fears whales; struck, it roars heavenward.” Here, hot tea becomes the whale: when poured, the clay glimmers gold like ancient bells struck at ceremonies. Nurtured sip by sip, its scales awaken — transforming your tea ritual into a sacred dialogue between earth and sky.

【Product Description】
Handcrafted from sealed-mine purple clay (Zisha) of Yixing’s Yellow Dragon Mountain (Dingshu Town, China), this tea pet embodies Pulao—the 4th son of the Chinese Dragon. Inspired by 3rd-century records (Notes on the Western Capital Rhapsody): “Pulao fears whales; struck, it roars to heaven,” it transforms ritual bell art into tea table magic:
→ Dragon Heritage: Fierce horns, coiling tail
→ Toad Mother’s Legacy: Wings poised for flight, resonant acoustics
→ Zisha Alchemy: Hot tea unlocks golden metamorphosis, mimicking bronze patina as steam rises like a dragon’s roar.
A triune marvel—tea ritual vitality, ceremonial grandeur, mythical spirit—anchoring your tea space with celestial power.
