FAQ

Usage & Maintenance

Q: How should I clean the stone if it gets dirty?

A: Since it is natural stone, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. A simple rinse with clean water and a soft brush is all you need to maintain its natural beauty.

Q: How do I maintain my stone tea pet?

A: Stone tea pets love "nourishment." Simply pour your leftover tea over the stone during your tea session. Over time, the natural stone will absorb the tea oils, developing a beautiful, smooth luster known as a "patina."

Product Nature & Authenticity

Q: Do you sell vintage or second-hand stone art?

A: No. We only sell newly crafted stone art. This ensures that every customer receives a clean, pristine piece with a clear origin, ready to begin its own history in your home.

Q: Are these stone carvings antiques?

A: No, all SHIYU products are brand-new creations. While we use traditional techniques to honor Chinese heritage, these are modern artworks designed for contemporary aesthetics. They should not be treated or appraised as historical antiques.

Craftsmanship & Uniqueness

Q: Why does my product look slightly different from the website photos?

A: As we use natural stone, the grain and color intensity can vary slightly between batches. Coupled with the hand-carving process, these subtle differences ensure that your piece is a one-of-a-kind original.

Q: Are your stone carvings mass-produced by machines?

A: No. At SHIYU, we pride ourselves on purely handcrafted artistry. Each piece is meticulously carved by experienced artisans. Because they are handmade, no two pieces are exactly alike—small variations in texture or carving details are the mark of a unique work of art.

Material & Safety

Q: Are these stone materials safe for daily use?

A: Absolutely. Since we use pure natural stone without any chemical coatings or synthetic resins, our products are completely non-toxic and harmless to the human body. They are perfect for use in tea ceremonies or as home decor.

Q: What materials are SHIYU products made of?

A: Our collection is primarily crafted from high-quality Bluestone (青石) and Blue Sandstone (青砂石). Both are 100% natural stones sourced directly from the earth, known for their durable texture and elegant, muted tones.
