Cultural context
Niumian Card Maker / Collection
A short cobalt-blue work jacket with one very large diagonal fastening, wide ochre trousers and dark shoes; cards sit in a flat hip pocket. In an open, two-compartment travelling case, one small tea caddy is open and the other closed. One paw presses the case against the belly, while the other steadies its attached lid.
A coral home sweater with a contrasting grey placket and pale loose trousers; no work pockets. Both paws hold a small pale-green teapot with its lid closed against the cheek, the head tilted contentedly; the spout points outwards, with no pouring.
00 / Original form
A tall soft paddle-shaped head ends in a gently curled tea-leaf edge. Cool turquoise-grey surrounds a creamy centre, with mischievously slanted eyes above a short body and large feet.
