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).

I present to your attention an unusual figurine of a Sphinx rat. Its height is 20mm, length is 82mm.  The Sphinx rat is an attentive, peaceful creature. I have never come across a figurine like this so I decided to create it. This miniature sculpture is made from a mixture of two clays, white and terracotta. I tried to create skin color for realism. I think I got it. This cute little statue has clearly visible folds, pimples on the body, a textured tail. The eyes are made of black clay. These details create a realistic figure. To the touch, the rat is smooth, pleasant and with a pronounced texture. The rat is not afraid of boiling water and will gladly accompany your tea ceremony. But keep in mind that when pouring tea, it will absorb it and become darker over time. It depends on the intensity of pouring tea and its variety (color). I hope you, like me, will like this unusual figurine in a single copy. The rat is handmade with love and will bring you good luck and good mood. If you have any questions or suggestions please write to me. I can make a figurine according to your sketches or I will make a sketch according to your wishes.  With best wishes for health and well-being, Igor (author and creator of figures).

  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.

Tapirs are very sweet and kind animals.  In Asia, this cute animals have been given the nickname "dream eater" because of their proboscis.  It is believed that tapirs eat bad dreams, and figurines with their images bring peace and good luck.
