The height of the cat 1.97 in, width (front view) 1.46 in, width (side view) 1.26 in. In the workshop Terracotta GRYF, there are mostly serious works. I wanted to create something unusual and fun. And so it turned out to be a cartoon cat. When I look at him, my mood immediately rises. I hope you will have the same reaction when you see this cat. This figurine will look great on a table, on a bookshelf or on a tea tray as a tea figurine. The cat is made of black and white clay, painted with engobe. The coat and details are slightly accentuated with black glaze. Natural and safe materials are used for the figure. When shipped, it will be well packed in a branded box. A little about caring for the product - the cat is fragile, so do not give it to children as a toy. The cat figurine is not afraid of water, but does not need to be washed in the dishwasher. Thanks for your interest in my figurines. And thank you for your purchase (I hope you did it). Nice to see you in the workshop Terracotta GRYF. If you have any questions or suggestions, I will be happy to answer.  

The dragon figurine is 35 mm high, 66 mm long. Made of natural clay by hand, painted with a brush. After the first firing in an electric kiln, the dragon was covered with transparent glaze and once again underwent firing. This is the fourth dragon (there were five similar but different colors), there is a number at the bottom of the figure. This is a limited edition collection at an affordable price, as 2024 is the year of the Dragon and the corresponding figurine will bring prosperity to the home.

The bowl is made by hand. Covered with food safe glazes. As you can see, it turned out to be very unusual. Suitable for any kind of tea. Bowl capacity 80 ml, height 4 cm, diameter 8 cm.

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.

Ceramic bowl diameter 2.95 -3.15 inches, height 2.28 inches, capacity 80 ml. The frog is a harbinger of spring rains and the awakening of nature.  I call this bowl the HEATER OF HEAT. When, after hibernation, the frog woke up, climbed a tree in search of the warm rays of the sun to warm up. Outside, the bowl has a wood texture. It seems that the frog is sitting on a tree and striving to reach its top. Inside, the color of the wood is the same, but here the glaze has laid down so that it reminds me of the sun ( seen in the photo). The bowl and the frog are made of clay. They are covered with engobe and food glaze. Food safe. The bowl is very tactilely textured, but the frog is smooth. This is a great option for unity with nature and admiring an unusual bowl with its inhabitant. I am sure that lovers of beauty will appreciate it.  The bowl will be carefully packed and safely shipped in the original box. Thanks for your interest in the figurines. Please, feel free to ask me any questions about the item and contact me to see more close up pics of any details you want. Best regards, Igor (author and creator of the products of the Terracotta GRYF workshop).    

It's figure of a young monk with a friend! Monk is dressed in warm clothes. Being in a balanced, peaceful state, he accepts the Tibetan potion made according to an ancient recipe - yak milk + strong Chinese tea +yak fat. A Buddhist monk is an example of virtue. He focuses on the main thing - moral self-improvement. This is going to be a beautiful symbol of your state of mind and a good fit in your life. It’s going to be your companion for the trip. In times of tension, may the Monk always be with you. A satellite and a friend of a monk is a bird sitting on his head. In this composition, two opposites, two lifes, are metaphorically expressed through images. One is a bird, symbolizing a constant worldly fuss in pursuit of the benefits of civilization. The second is a peaceful Monk with an ascetic monastic teapot. The bird learns from the Monk calm and balance. The figurine will be a great gift to people seeking peace.  It is made of two kinds of clay: a monk of terracotta, a bird of white. The garment is highlighted by a red glaze, which after firing gave a very beautiful and unique color. The individual elements are also covered with black glaze.

   Figurine 22 mm high, 83 mm long. The turtle is a symbol of heavenly protection, longevity and wisdom. It brings money.    The turtle figurine is made of white natural clay. Completely hand-painted with different colors of clay. The eyes and claws are underlined with engobe. It was fired in a kiln at 1040 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is not afraid of boiling water and will keep you company in the tea ceremony. In the palms, when stroking, its pleasant shell texture, porous head and scaly paws are felt. On the belly of the turtle there is also a relief and well-painted shell. Extremely realistic and cute figurine.    I can make a figure to order according to your sketch or I will make a sketch according to your wishes. If you have any questions or suggestions please write to me.    With the best wishes for health and good mood, Igor (the author and creator of the figurines).

Figure height 2.17 in, width (front view) 2.00 in. I like music. While listening to the next track, I thought: "I need to try to make an unusual beatmaker." A few days later, the idea came true. Before you is a forest beatmaker Hare. He stuffs the beats on a classic drum machine. Such a figurine is the only one in the world, I have not seen any analogues. I am very happy with the result. Unfortunately, only a connoisseur will be able to understand the figure and appreciate it. DJ Hare wears a Japanese haori shirt with an embroidered Hotei logo on the back. On the head is a trendy bini. The beatmaker is holding a drum machine. The figurine will be a cool gift for a composer, arranger, DJ, record producer. It is also an unusual tea pet for lovers of the gongfu tea ceremony. The hare is made of clay, covered with engobe and the details are highlighted with black glaze. All materials from which the figurine is made are natural and safe. The product is not afraid of water, but it does not need to be washed in the dishwasher. The hare is very cute and cool, but fragile. The hare figurine will be well packed in a designer box. You will also receive a product passport as a gift (a sketch of a hare drawn by me).  Thank you for your interest in my products. I will be glad to see you again in the Terracotta GRYF workshop. Best wishes, Igor (author and craftsman).

I present to your attention a very unusual and lively figurine LIZARD - WANDERER.  He has a very expressive look.  When I look at the Lizard, it is like a living thing for me, looks back and waits for my question.  I think you will have the same impression when you hold it in your hands. Small figurine 50 mm high, 40 mm wide.  Fits perfectly and looks great in any space.  The Lizard can be used as a tea figurine (tea pet ) in gongfu cha tea cremony, it is not afraid of boiling water, but it is fragile. The figurine has a small dent on the back (see photo). I will carefully pack the Lizard for you when shipping.  Also as a gift I will put a drawing of the Lizard in ink on rice paper. With the best wishes Igor.

Okame height 1.34 in, width 1.02 in. The Okame mask of the Kegen Theatre is one of the cultural symbols of Japan. A very charming piece - a very accurate copy of the handwriting of my creative workshop. It is made of white clay, which became beige during the process of roasting. Upon careful examination, it can be seen that the posterior part of the article( symbolizing the neck of the mask bearer) has come out significantly lighter. That makes it even clearer. Also some fragments (eyebrows, eyelashes, hair) are covered with black engobe, teeth-white, the lips are highlighted by a slight smear of red clay. Okame is the Japanese goddess of happiness and fun. She is usually depicted as a small fat woman with a large pear-like head, burning eyes, a broad, curly face, plucked eyebrows, a small mouth and full cheeks. Okame is known in Japanese mythology as well as Ame no Uzume - «Heavenly Maiden of Courage». It was she who lured the goddess of the Sun, Amateras, out of the cave with her frantic dance and brought light back to the world. The popular image of Okame was very popular. It is not by chance that her other names are Ofuku (in Japanese - «happiness») and Otafuku («great happiness»). The word «okama» is literally translated as a «turtle»; this animal in ancient Japan was a symbol of long life and luck. It’s going to be a great gift to a man who’s interested in Oriental culture. The talisman of happiness is in your hands. This is amazing tea pet for gongfu tea. All our products are copyrighted. They are and will be in only one copy. Each product has meaning and philosophy. I make products from Ukrainian clay and some Spanish. I use engobe and high-quality glaze to finish the figurines. Clay is burned twice at 960 and 1080 degrees Celsius in an electric kiln designed for firing ceramic products. Clay and glazes are led free and food safe.

 I present to you my vision of the teapet seductive Kitsune. Figure height 7.2 cm, base width ( front view) 3.9 cm.   In Japanese folklore, foxes possess great knowledge, long lives, and magical powers. Other abilities commonly attributed to the kitsune include the ability to inhabit other people's bodies, create fire, appear in other people's dreams, and the ability to create illusions so complex that they are almost indistinguishable from reality. Some of the tales go further, speaking of kitsune with the ability to bend space and time, drive people insane, or take on such inhuman or fantastic forms as trees of indescribable height or a second moon in the sky.  The figurine is made of natural clay. The hair is highlighted with a black glaze. The color in reality may differ from the color on your monitor. 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 in some places, get a different shade.  But be careful - do not drop this mini sculpture, it is fragile, and do not give it to children as a toy.

The white horse is almost always a solar symbol of light, life and spiritual enlightenment. It is an attribute of the Buddha (it is said that he left earthly life on a white horse), the merciful Bato Kannon in Japan, the Prophet in Islam (for whom horses were a symbol of happiness and prosperity).   The horse symbolizes dynamics, movement.  It is also an animal that is inherent in courage, loyalty, grace and endurance.  In Feng Shui, a horse means victory, strength and perseverance, respect and peace.  The horse in the traditions of many peoples is revered as a sacred animal. This figure of a white Horse is made of natural clay.  It is 32mm high, 98 ml long.  The details of the figurine are underlined by engobe.  The figurine was fired in a kiln at a temperature of 1010 degrees Celsius.  Not afraid of boiling water.  If you pour tea on the Horse during the Gongfu tea ceremony, it will darken over time as it absorbs the tea. So you will watch your tea pet change. I will carefully pack the Horse for you when shipping.  Also as a gift I will put a drawing of the figurine in ink on rice paper. Thank you for visiting Terracotta GRYF shop.
