I don't think it is. I would certainly not pour any water or tea over the bodhisattva. Just the perfect companion in my tea drinking sessions. :)

There are some really beautiful Zisha Guanyin Pusa out there in every price range. There are some small ones which are used as tea pets, but I personally never would.

Well along the lines of "non-pet pets" I just got these two adorable little Japanese Kimmi dolls.

My daughter got me this Momiji doll for Christmas but I don't have a tray to put her on yet. She will be my little tea mascot when I do, though!

V, I think the purpleness is what made her decide to get me that one. : )

She almost looks like an opposite version of your girls!
