Cats are always alert and inspecting their surroundings. This figurine by Thailand's Kanda captures an adorable feline doing exactly so and features the stunning glazed and crackled accents characteristic of the celadon ceramic used in the crafting process.

Experience the enchantment of celadon ceramics with these cute cat figurines handcrafted in a serene green shade. This delightful duo is designed by Thai artisan Penpan and embodies the timeless tradition of celadon craftsmanship with its characteristic crackled glaze, infusing your home with a touch of charm and whimsy.

Bringing promises of good fortune, these two cats are created by Duangkamol in Thailand. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of maneki neko, she crafts each cat from ceramic, finished with a crackled green celadon glaze.

Endearing and lucky, these two kitties are designed by Duangkamol inspired by the famed Maneki Neko, the Japanese bobtail cat believed to bring good fortune. Each yellow ceramic figurine is painted by hand and finished with glaze for a rich, glossy appearance.

Working in cool blue-green Celadon ceramic, Duangkamol depicts the lucky Maneki Neko. These figurines depict Japanese cats who bring good fortune. With their cheerful, smiling faces, they raise their right paws to attract money and also wear necklaces with a gold coin. Cats are a favorite animal of Duangkamol.

Playful kitties grin with satisfaction when catching a ball of yarn with their paws. Their expressions are sweet and admirably vivid. Duangkamol crafts them with millenary ceramic techniques unique to the blue glazed, crackled beauty of celadon artistry.

Angel Cerón finds inspiration in the art and beliefs of the Olmeca people to replicate the sculpture of a jaguar holding a man standing on his head. "The original sculpture is from the middle pre-classic period of 1200-400 B.C. and was found in San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, Veracruz," explains the master ceramist. "The ancient Olmeca believed they were descendants of the union between a jaguar and a woman. The actual myth seems to have been lost in time, though many of their celebrations and artistry make reference to the jaguar, especially portraying people with feline facial characteristics including fangs. There used to be a considerable jaguar population in the same region where the Olmeca culture developed, so they regarded the feline as having some connection with their origin. They also believed it to represent both the world of th living, and the underworld," continues Cerón, who crafts the sculpture with yellow clay from the state of Oaxaca creating low and high relief accents and gives it an antiqued finish.
