Little Mouse in Tree 17-oz Yixing Teapot

Our 17-oz Little Mouse in Tree  Yixing Teapot was hand made in Yixing China using the famous purple clay, zisha clay, that is said to only occur in the Yellow Dragon Cave of Dingshan town in Yixing, China. Although the mouse often has negative connotations as a creature everyone despises, in the Chinese zodiac it is right up there with the industrious ox, the brave tiger and the alert monkey. Not only that, it actually ranks at the top of the zodiac symbolizing intelligence and flexibility. The year of the mouse is depicted in ancient tales as a time of abundance, fertility, hope and opportunity. Some ancient fortunetelling books say that those born in the Year of the Mouse are born with great fortune, as they are good at managing human relationships. Approximate Capacity: 17-oz
