Description

The ceramic handmade figurine of a praying monk is 52mm high and 43 mm wide. Made of natural clay by hand. At first glance seems very simple, but in my understanding has a deep meaning and spirituality.

 The monk miniature ceramic sculpture is not afraid of boiling water, but can break if dropped. It will be a perfect addition to your tea ceremony Gong fu Cha as a tea pet and will look great in your workspace. It can be an unusual handmade gift for someone especial. 

  The color reproduction on the photo will be slightly different from the color of the figurine in person.

Handmade miniature Daruma figurine unique tea pet, ceramic table decor will not go unnoticed.
Figure height 1.73 in, width 1.14 in. Daruma ( Bodaidaruma) is the founder of the Chan (Zen) Buddhist school. The aim of the Zen practice is to open the eye of the soul and see the basis of life, the desire for inner purification by refraining from vice and material goods.   Daruma is very pleasant to the touch. Close your eyes and imaging that you are holding the sculpture in your hands. Will seem that you have a nice little stone of the correct ergonomic shape… like a pebble from the sea. You can feel it especially clearly on the rear side, where the cape is practically without folds...It’s a very pleasant tactile sensation. And then you open your eyes and you see one of the Chinese and Japanese deities. It is magical feeling. Give Daruma with the wishes to achieve the wisdom, peace and enlightenment. This is unusual tea pet for gongfu tea. It is made of two types of clay - red and white. The details (eyes, eyebrows and beard) are painted with white and black engobe. To highlight the pupils, a drop of black glossy glaze is applied on the pupils. It makes Daruma very lively.  Get the real pleasure of owning a single copy of such a famous character in Asia. All our products are copyrighted. They are and will be in one copy. Each product has meaning and philosophy. But if you want, you can give it your own personal history and name. The products are made of Ukrainian clay but using a small amount of Spanish clay. I use engobe and high-quality glaze to finish the figures. Clay is burned twice at 960 and 1080 degrees Celsius in a muffle furnace designed for firing ceramic products. Clay and glazes are led free and food safe.

Handmade miniature ceramic ginger cat sculpture made of natural clay will definitely cheer you up, unique tea pet, pet lover gift.
They say a ginger cat is good luck, especially a fat one. I wanted to make such a cool cat, but the price wasn't too steep. I hope you like the result. May it bring you luck and inspiration.  This ceramic ginger cat figurine is 50 mm high and 54 mm wide, made of natural clay completely by hand and hand painted with engobe. Then the figurine was fired in a kiln at 1050 degrees Celsius. The clay is hard as a stone and is not afraid of boiling water, but if you drop it, it will break, so be careful. To the touch, this ceramic cat sculpture is textural and pleasing . I hope you enjoy this miniature figurine and that you will really enjoy your purchase. Because of its small size, the cat figurine can be carried with you to your tea ceremony Gongfucha in the countryside as a tea pet. It will also look great in your workspace and as a shelf decor. But I won't limit your imagination.

Handmade unique sculpture from natural clay Buddha on the Deer is unusual tea pet for Gongfucha tea ceremony, unique ceramic shelf decor.
Figure height 4.3 cm, length ( side view) 5.7 cm. Why was this unique ceramic 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 ceramic miniature sculpture. The color in reality may differ from the color on your monitor.  This handmade sculpture is a  perfect addition to your tea ceremony as a tea pet, 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.

Ceramic bowl with a frog is a unique handmade natural cup for enjoying tea or coffee.
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).

Incredible figurine of a Japanese musician Cat from natural clay is an unique gift, tea pet.
I present to you a figurine of a Japanese Cat ( a wandering musician). Height of the Cat 60 mm, width (front view) 31 mm, width ( side view) 43 mm. This miniature sculpture made entirely of natural fireclay by hand. The cat has undergone two firings in the kiln, after each firing it became textured. Particles of fireclay can be seen on the photo. The Cat is dressed in a kimono (patchwork from different pieces of fabric with different patterns). On his back you can see a Japanese character that means music. The cat is pictured in motion, singing and playing. This amazing figurine with an interesting texture is a great addition to your tea ceremony gongfucha and will look great in your workspace. It can be an unusual gift for someone especial. This mini sculpture will change its color when you pour tea over it. It will be fun to watch.  As a gift with the purchase of the figure, you get an ink drawing on rice paper. You can see it on the photo. This is a passport to the product I draw by hand.   The color reproduction on the photo will be slightly different from the color of the figurine in person.

Miniature ceramic hare (rabbit) handmade tea pet, small statue for desk or shelf decor.
Hare (rabbit) height 1.46 in, length 3.23 in. This ceramic Hare has minimalistic body shape but well- detailed head,  minimum of black glossy ceramic food glaze that highlights only slightly sketched areas of wool. You get a unique product worthy of the most refined taste!  Personally, to me, the Hare is one of the most iconic products. I can stare at it for hours at a tea ceremony. Feeling Hare in your hands, immerse yourself in thoughts. It harmonizes perfectly in any setting. I’d like to give it to person with similar metaphysics. All our products are copyrighted. They are and will be in a single copy. Each product has meaning and philosophy. But if you want, you can give it your own personal history and name. The products are made of Ukrainian clay but using a small amount of Spanish clay.

I discovered GRYF through a comment on r/tea, and went on to buy two figurines that resonated with me. Igor is a consummate artist whose work appears old and new, elegant and rustic at the same time. A true scholar's object for my tea table.

Igor's pieces are full of character and soul. His Running Rhino is my second tea pet from him, and just like the first, the figurine was shipped very quickly and safely, accompanied by a small rolled painting to match. These tea pets are fine art made by a conscientious man and reliable seller. Thank you, Igor.
