Huang Jin Duan is a type of Zisha that belongs to the Duan Ni category. Actually, it is the weathered layer of the Duan Ni ore deposit. Huang Jin Duan literally means golden Duan Ni; it got its name because it presents the color of Huang Jin (gold) after firing.
This is a series of super cute handmade tea pets: a bunny, a chick, a duckling, and a very special one - Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao, known in English as sycee, is a type of gold or silver ingot currency used in ancient China, often in a boat shape. On the Yuan Bao tea pet, one of the most complicated Chinese characters, which means wealth, is engraved.
