This 5 1/4" cat has a rustic elegance with a flowy and flattering leaf design I carved to flow around the triangular body and solid thoughtful face. The leaves are painted with forest green with black outlining the entire piece. This one has a kind and gentle presence- a personal favorite of the last few batches.
It holds about a dropper full of water for fresh, very short stemmed flowers- or leave it dry to hold whiskers or other skinny things!
The cat pictured is the one you will receive- the group photos show it compared to others.
Every cat is hand sculpted individually from smooth stoneware clay and decorated in a number of ways including carving and staining and different applications of midrange glazes. I see these cats as unique little beings in their own right and as mini ceramic art experiments. Each cat is made with love and intention.
Each Cosmic Cat has a tiny fully glazed well to hold a small amount of water- a dropper full- for a fresh bloom or sprig of greenery. They are also used by their owners as whisker keepers, feather displays, paintbrush or pen holders- or just as they are on the windowsill or as a desk buddy. These little cats are truly unique and one of a kind gifts.
Fired to cone six- midrange, 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!
