A cream canvas vest over plum knitwear, wide dark-green shorts and brown Derby shoes; a magnifying glass on a short cord. One paw holds a closed copper tea tin with a plain paper band, the other rolled tea wrappers; the magnifying glass is attached.
A cream-and-cobalt striped sweater, lilac lounge trousers and saffron felt slippers. Holds a glass bowl of ruby-coloured tea-jelly cubes; the other paw holds a wooden spoon.
00 / Original form
Tea inclusions float within a tall rounded rectangular head of clear olive-coloured resin-like material. Low golden eyes and a tiny amber body give the creature a thoughtful sparkle.
