“Xiao You” Ancient Owl Teapet
He’s looking at you! And also, not at you.
This ancient owl is a Jesse’s Teahouse exclusive! The design is based on an ancient bronze wine vessel that is currently housed in the Shanxi Museum called Xiaoyou. It is from the late Sheng Dynasty.
We poured our own molds and tried various glaze options to recreate the ancient feel of this lil guy.
Jesse Says:
As part of an effort to avoid AI art in our products, we have started to look at historical art and artifacts as a source for inspiration.
When we wanted to make our “Wind” box, this guy stood out immediately. I remember thinking, “I want that as a tea pet!”
Many thanks to the original artist who designed him hundreds of years ago! I wonder what they might say if they knew how far their little bird has flown.
