Toad figure frog and ceramic coin

A toad tea figurine with a ceramic coin is an accessory that is placed on a table or tray during a tea ceremony and is said to bring good luck and prosperity according to Chinese legends. According to the story, the toad was greedy and evil in its youth, and it preyed on defenseless peasants. The peasants couldn't stand the constant attacks, so they asked Buddha for help, who took away one of the toad's legs. Since then, the toad has sought to alleviate his guilt and distribute the accumulated wealth to those in need.

This tea figure therefore symbolizes not only happiness and prosperity, but also regret and reparation. Its presence in the tea ceremony not only brings aesthetic pleasure and depth to the ritual, but also reminds us of the importance of forgiveness and charity. The ceramic coin, often associated with a toad figure, reinforces this message and serves as a reminder that wealth should be distributed to those who need it most.
