4 Julleuchters crafted to order

Figure height 5.5 cm, width ( front view) 4 cm. This mini sculpture I called Meditative character. Very unusual and interesting, such a man-animal for me symbolizes the unity of the world of man and animals, their peaceful coexistence.  The figurine is made of natural Chinese clay used to create the famous gongfu teapots. After firing in a wood-fired kiln it took an interesting unique color and became like a stone. When lightly tapping on the figurine, it produces a specific ringing sound inherent in metal products. This type of clay is not intended for creating small, detailed sculptures, as it contains many large scribbles. But I managed to create a unique detailed piece. The color in reality may differ from the color on your monitor. He is a perfect addition to your tea ceremony Gongfu Cha, as the figurine is not afraid of boiling water. But be careful - do not drop this mini sculpture, it is fragile, and do not give it to children as a toy.

  A gecko with a stand is one piece. Figure length with stand 10 cm, width 5 cm. Gecko is one of my latest works made in Ukraine.  The figurine was fired in a wood-burning stove in Ukraine already during the war.   Geckos are reptiles that belong to the lizard family.  They are very small and come in a variety of colors and appearances.  We can find them on all continents of the world and they are not easy to spot due to their size. Geckos are very adaptable and can survive in a variety of environments, from rainforests to deserts.  Evolution has allowed them to become resistant to these harsh living conditions, as well as avoid being trapped by predators.    People who have a gecko totem are very smart and quick-witted. They can understand every situation they are in and this helps them take the next step.  You can never really guess what these people are thinking, and it's hard to get inside their heads.   This is a very unusual gift in a single copy for the whole world.  Even I can't repeat it.  The gecko will decorate your tea space and become a wonderful tea friend for you.

Tea pair HOKUSAI. Two bowls represent a man and a woman. One bowl depicts a samurai man. On the second - a wise Japanese wife with scrolls. Drawings taken from Hokusai's sketch. On the bowls they are hand-painted by me with a brush. Outside and inside bowls are covered with food safe ceramic glaze. The bowls were fired twice in an oven at 1040 degrees Celsius. The capacity of bowls is 45-50 ml. Height 5.5-6 cm (since the bowls are made by hand without using a potter's wheel, they are not even and this gives them charm).

 Rat figurine is 57mm tall. Small but detailed. The rat is a symbol of wealth, intelligent and thrifty, able to make the best out of any situation.  This Rat figurine is made of two types of clay and has been wood fired. Now ready to share a tea ceremony with you. The figurine is not afraid of boiling water, when poured with tea a little darkening over time. Although the figurine is hard, but take care not to drop it and please do not give it to children as a toy.

Figure height 4.3 cm, length ( side view) 5.7 cm. Why was this figurine born?  It's hard to answer.  I love animals, but I've never made a deer before.  Decided to try.  When the deer was ready, it seemed to me that something was missing.  And made the Buddha on horseback.  Then I came across information that historically, it was in the Deer Park that Gautama Buddha gave his first teaching. In addition, deer are fabulous creatures for me, graceful and kind.  I hope you love deer too. The Buddha on the Deer is made of natural clay. A detailed and interesting figure. The color in reality may differ from the color on your monitor.  This miniature sculpture is a  perfect addition to your tea ceremony, as the figurine is not afraid of boiling water. If you will often water with dark tea it may darken,will get a different shade. Be careful - do not drop this mini sculpture, it is fragile, and do not give it to children as a toy

Figure height 6.5 cm, width ( front view) 4.5 cm. Monks scrutinize magical energy, which in most monastic traditions is called chi. This energy is a component part of the magic that permeates the multiverse, more specifically, the part that flows through the bodies of the living. Monks have learned to control the energy flowing through their bodies, enhancing their physical abilities. Monks are also very wise. I like to make monk figurines. The Monk figurine is made of natural clay. The color in reality may differ from the color on your monitor. He is a perfect addition to your tea ceremony, as the figurine is not afraid of boiling water. If you will often water with dark tea it may darken, get a different shade. And be careful - do not drop this mini sculpture, it is fragile, and do not give it to children as a toy.
