This cat is a small all black mini vase- black underglaze was applied and a cute face was carved and semi gloss glaze was applied for a cute minimalist unassuming little cat. This one has a very slight head tilt and has a more matte finish.
Hand sculpted from smooth stoneware clay and carved with an abstract botanical motif with swirls and leaves and greens and blues. This cat was fully glazed with a semi gloss finish and a fully glazed well to hold a tiny bit of water for a bloom. These cats are also used for whisker keepers, feather displays, paintbrush or pen holders or just on their own as a kitchen window sill guardian or desk buddy. These cats are fired to cone six- midrange, so they are heavier and more durable than a typical low fire figurine. The most common comment from online buyers is that they are "heavier than they expected" - in a good way!
