Excellent craftsmanship
I was impressed by the detail in the Pixiu carving. It serves double duty as a tea pet and a practical tray for stray drops. Highly recommended for serious tea drinkers.

Great value, slightly smaller than expected
The quality is undeniable, but I thought it would be a bit larger based on the photos. Still, it fits my small table setup perfectly and looks elegant.

Perfect addition to my Gongfu setup
This Pixiu lid rest is not only functional but also a beautiful conversation piece. The Zisha clay feels substantial and high quality. It holds my Gaiwan lid perfectly without slipping.

Beautiful texture and color
The unglazed finish is lovely and develops a nice patina after a few weeks of use. It keeps my tea table tidy and adds a traditional touch to my ceremony.
