This whimsical ceramic cat is both a sculpture and an art box — a small character who carries his home and his friendships with him wherever he goes. Resting on his back is a tiny bird perched beneath a miniature house with a terracotta-style tiled roof, and he’s joined by a separate four-legged fish companion who completes the little travelling crew. Every element is hand-sculpted, from the cat’s stretched paws to the tiny roof tiles on the house. The cat’s body opens into a lidded box with a snug, organic fit, revealing a small compartment sized for keepsakes, notes, or any tiny treasures you want to tuck away. Made from white clay, hand-painted with underglazes, and finished with a soft, muted glaze palette, the piece was fired twice in the kiln. It measures about 3.5”×2”×2.7” (9×5×7 cm), with the inner space around 2.1”×1.6”×2” (5.5×4×5 cm). This is a one-of-a-kind artistic collector item — full of personality, narrative, and that warm, whimsical charm handmade ceramics can carry so well.
