Over time, you pour leftover brewed tea over the figurine, which gradually absorbs the tea and develops a deeper, richer patina and colour unique to your usage. The solid copper snail figurine is ideal for this purpose — simply place it on your tea tray and pour a little brewed tea over it each session to nurture its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this figurine made of solid copper or is it hollow?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This snail figurine features a solid-core construction made from pure copper. It has a satisfying weight and density that distinguishes it from hollow or plated imitations, giving it an authentic, high-quality feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will the copper finish change over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — that is part of its charm! Pure copper naturally develops a warm patina over time, especially when used as a tea pet. This ageing process is considered desirable in Chinese tea culture, as it makes each piece uniquely personal to its owner. You can also maintain its bright brass appearance by gently polishing with a soft cloth if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is a tea pet and how do I use this copper snail figurine as one?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A tea pet is a small decorative figurine traditionally placed on a Chinese tea tray during tea ceremonies.
