Garlic bird tea pet (purple clay)

Its name is "Suanniao" – "Suan" as in garlic and "Niao" as in bird. You might find the name a bit odd, but phonetically, "Suanniao" resembles "suanle" (meaning "forget it" or "let it go") in Chinese, which is equivalent to "never mind" in English, urging people not to dwell on trivial matters. This aligns perfectly with the culture around the tea table. Despite its cute and playful expression, this little bird is indeed an interesting tea pet with cultural significance.
