My grandparents have these and I never knew the story behind them until now. Thanks!
I kinda want to see a video of that kind of tea pet in action, but no way I'm going to find what I'm looking for by searching for those key words.
Here's a good picture

I messaged the mod @dantheclamman@lemmy.world if it’s okay to post the video, since I didn’t receive a response I thought it would be okay.
Whoops sorry didn't see the message! Thanks for sharing, it's fine, equivalent of those cupid statues in public spaces in Europe at least
omg, LMAO! 😂 Definitely don’t do it!
