<p>[QUOTE="Van_Poperin, post: 3034314, member: 16501"]My understanding is that the teapots are similarly maintained— repeated treating them with hot tea creates a glazed look. The famed “pee-pee boy” (and hollow pets like it) is popular because it helps you gauge when you water is hot. Nowadays you can go to Chinese retailers and buy them hollow (as with the pee-pee boy), solid unglazed clay, glazed or painted (very modern, naturally). They are also sometimes referred to as “tea mascots” in the West.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
