Reclining Cat Paw Flower / Chopstick Rest / Pen Holder / Orange Cat Figurine

**Creative Inspiration**| Cats are masters of relaxation. I love watching cats stretch and unfurl their paws, so I sculpted this pose into a ceramic figurine :) It can also be used as a chopstick rest or pen holder! **Dimensions**|Approx. 10 x 4.5 x 2 cm **Material**|Clay / Shino glaze **Firing**|Oxidation-reduction firing **About the Glaze**| Shino glaze is a feldspathic glaze known for its intriguing kiln effects, such as fire marks, pinholes, crawling, and crackling. Where the glaze is thick, it evokes the purity of snow, while thinner areas reveal the fiery hues of a mandarin orange. Its texture is warm and smooth like jade, and like a cat, it's a comforting presence that invites you to touch it again and again. **About the Brand**| **TUO Ceramics** We lovingly shape clay, slowly mixing it to create unique objects. We mold our thoughts and feelings into form, bringing a sense of ease into everyday life. We craft ceramic pieces for a life with cats, accompanying you in a slow, quiet life shared with feline companions. Ceramic cats, gently sculpted. **Please Note**| Caution! The product includes only the ceramic cat figurine; spoons, forks, or fountain pens shown for illustrative purposes are not included. Each ceramic piece is hand-molded. Variations in glaze thickness and the interplay of fire, clay, and glaze during kiln firing may result in natural characteristics such as air bubbles, spots, or crackling (ice cracks). These features, along with the deepening of lines over time with use, are all part of the natural encounter with the material and do not affect its usability. As the writer Kuniko Mukoda once said, "Moles and freckles can sometimes constitute a person's charm." I believe ceramics are similar; their imperfections make them more captivating and interesting. Each ceramic piece is one-of-a-kind. The photos are for reference only. Please base your purchase decision on the actual product. Thank you.
