The Taurus tea figurine in Ru porcelain is an elegant statuette for the tea ceremony made of fine Chinese porcelain in light blue color. Ru porcelain is a material used in the Chinese tradition to create beautiful tea accessories and is characteristic of the figurines in the Chinese tea ceremony. If you have happened to see the Chinese tea ceremony Gunfu Cha, in China, you have probably noticed that almost all tea trays (Cheban) have a clay figurine – “茶宠” (tea animal). It’s a small work of art made of Yixing clay, which is constantly moistened during the tea ceremony as a wish for good luck and fortune. In China, tea figurines are revered on par with pets, even though they are small objects made to decorate the tea tray. In some Chinese families, the dragon figurine can mean the energy of heaven and symbolize a connection with the Tao deity. In another family, a talisman gifted by a deceased grandfather reminds and imparts the family with his wisdom. Tea figurines are therefore always present and have well-defined meanings. “Nurturing” (moistening) your tea animal is an important ritual. You can moisten your tea figurine with the warm water you used to heat the tea utensils before drinking it or you can use the water with which you washed the tea leaves at the beginning of the ceremony. Over time, the figurine will absorb the aroma and scent of the tea, and a color difference will be noticed in the clay. Tea animals are many and varied; they can be small, medium, or very large. Generally, they are quite simple but with a sophisticated design. They can represent animals, people, beetles, or even mythical creatures. Using Chinese tea figurines in meditation also has its benefits. Some scientists have shown that by focusing on an object and relaxing, the human brain begins to operate at a different frequency. In this state of consciousness, a person starts from a stereotypical thought and has the opportunity to tune into the necessary waves to obtain an answer to a long-standing query. It is this effect that is called “help from above” or “advice from ancestors.” During the consumption of tea, it is easier to reach this state because tea alleviates nervous and physical tensions, and tea figurines help set and concentrate attention.
