This is a striking vintage-style tea or wine set, meticulously carved to resemble dark horn, featuring an elephant motif and presented in a fabric-lined presentation box. The set includes one square-bodied teapot and four matching cups, all crafted from a heavy, composite material with a deep, almost black color and lighter, natural-looking striations that mimic the texture and grain of aged horn.
The centerpiece is the square-bodied teapot, which is heavily adorned with intricate relief carvings. The front panel features a prominent elephant head with large ears and a curled trunk, flanked by decorative panels containing stylized calligraphy. The spout is formed from a segmented, trunk-like shape, and the handle resembles a curled tail. The teapot rests on four stout legs, each carved with a beast-face motif. The matching cups are simple and elegant, sharing the same striated texture.
The set is housed in a sturdy, grey textured fabric box with white trim. The interior is lined with a vibrant, golden-yellow velvet-like fabric with custom-cut recesses to securely hold the teapot and cups, making it an excellent gift or collector's item.

Teapot: Length: 11 cm (approx. 4.3 inches); Height: 12 cm (approx. 4.7 inches)
Cups (Each): Height: 3.5 cm (approx. 1.4 inches); Width: 5 cm (approx. 2.0 inches)
