Jingdezhen Blue-and-White Mythical Beast Tea Pet – Handmade Backflow & Stick Incense Burner | Traditional Chinese Gift

This piece is a three-dimensional ceramic sculpture inspired by the mythological *qilin* motif found on Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. Reimagined in an anthropomorphic form, the creature brings ancient legends to life in a playful, modern way. As part of a cultural tourism IP, its blue-and-white color palette pays tribute to Jingdezhen’s iconic porcelain heritage.

In its left hand, the auspicious beast holds a local specialty snack—**youtiao wrapped around mácí** (fried dough sticks with glutinous rice cake)—a beloved delicacy that adds a warm, down-to-earth touch to this divine figure, blending tradition with regional charm.
