Description

Cat height 2.36 in, width 1.93 in. This is Kogasan ( Mr. Claw). He is a sphinx cat but also looks like a panther.  Such character is unusual for Japanese culture. He was born in my head and is now presented to your gaze after reading the book "Shogun". If for a moment to imagine that the population of ancient Japan are cats, then Kogasan is an unusual and memorable inhabitant. In Japanese paintings and engravings cats and other animals are often portrayed by the inhabitants of the city in their robes.  Kogasan was born in Japan to a European father and a Japanese mother. Well-educated and intelligent, he reached great heights at the Shogunate’s court.

The product is well detailed. Look at the eyes. They convey the character, intelligence and cunning of the character. Kogasan is made of two types of clay - paws and snout made of black shamy Spanish clay, which gives an additional interesting texture (roughness). Clothing made of white clay, which after each burning acquires a more sandy shade (the sculpture passes through two burns). Additionally, the clothes painted with engobe of blue, grey, and white colors, which ultimately gives a very harmonious color to the character.

With mr. Kogasan as a gift you will see three sparrows (miniature figurines). They symbolizing the gray masses of ordinary people. The cat -boss can eat them at any moment.

If the item is used as a tea figure and the tea is spilled on him in the tea ceremony, the character will change its color. The light part of the kimono will gradually absorb into itself tea (the property of clay) and the color will become much darker and more saturated , and the pattern of small flowers will become much more expressive. Kogasan will constantly surprise you with this transformation for the better.

It will be a beautiful gift, especially if you think of it not just as a clay figurine, but as an object with its own story. Besides it will fit perfectly in the interior due to its interesting shape and carefully chosen kimono colors.

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 use engobe and high-quality glaze to finish the figures. 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.

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.

Handmade ceramic figurine of a child on a horse is unique tea pet.
The height of the figurine 2.60 in, the length of the horse 2.99 in. The figurine of a child on a horse is one-piece, made of clay, the shirt is covered with white food glaze. According to my idea, this is a figurine of a Chinese child on a wooden horse with a traditional Chinese pattern. I think it turned out very nice. Children love to ride horses, so I decided to make such an unusual miniature figure. A little about care - the figurine is not afraid of water, but it does not need to be washed in the dishwasher; it is fragile, so please do not give it to children as a toy. This figurine will be well packed in a designer box. You will also receive a product passport as a gift (a sketch 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).

Small ceramic boy fisherman with carp is unique handmade tea pet, unusual desk miniature statue.
Boy height 2.13 in, width 1.50 in. A smiling Chinese boy with a sacred fish in his hands is one of the sweetest sculptures of my creative workshop. In Chinese and Japanese everyday life the figurines of children, especially boys, have a large and pronounced symbolism. Netsuke Karako (a Chinese little boy) is the wish of a male heir who would occupy a high social position and thus will bring prosperity to the family. Karako is considered a benevolent symbol, bringing happiness, luck and well-being. In addition to this, the joyful boy is depicted with the sacred fish Tai, which on its tail brings happiness. The baby and the fish are made of red terracotta clay, covered with black glaze. The glaze did not color the figure but only emphasized the lines. The boy’s robe is covered with bright yellow-orange glaze. In front of you is a very beautiful original product. This figurine will be a beautiful gift with wishes for happiness, harmony, well-being and a speedy replenishment in the family. This is unique lucky tea pet for Gongfu tea, birthday gift.

Handmade ceramic Hedgehog and his friend Snail is miniature statue and tea pet for Gongfu cha.
 Hedgehog height 1.38 in, length 1.77 in. Getting into your hands, Hedgehog and his friend Snail only evoke positive emotions! Nice texture not prickly but expressive needles, smiling face, black kind eyes and big ears. Hedgehog is a symbol of self-defense. In Feng shui  the Hedgehog is a symbol of security, openness, friendliness and joy. Prickles pierce the world of darkness and either defeats it or gives it a jolt. Ancient legends say that Hedgehog is wise enough, and even God listened to his advice! In China, such an animal is associated with kindness. Hedgehog brings joy and prosperity to the house. The Snail is a symbol of patience and perseverance because of its slowness. Time (the burden on the shoulders) does not deprive the Snail of the ability to victoriously raise antennae above its head. Due to the horns appearing and disappearing, the Snail is considered a symbol of the cyclic nature of the processes. It is also a symbol of time and evolution. Through the labyrinth of the clam shell spiral, man comprehends the meaning of time. Because the Snail always hides its body in the house, it is a symbol of modesty. This feature reminds about thrift and even greed - «I carry everything with me». I’ve also given this product its own individual meaning. For me, above all, Hedgehog and Snail are a symbol of friendship and alliance between the two personalities. And what he can become for you is for you to decide. In any case, unusual and lovely sculpture. It will please you or it will be a beautiful gift with meaning for your loved ones. It is made of three types of clay. The main one is white, but after two burns it has become a slightly beige (sandy) color. The eyes and nose of the Hedgehog are made of black clay. Its legs and the sink of the snail are made of terracotta clay. To accentuate the texture of the leaf, a glossy black glaze was applied to it, giving the effect of depth. If you look closely, you can see the pores. 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 use engobe and high-quality glaze to finish the figures. 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.   Thank you for your interest in my figurines and for reading to the end. Have a good mood. See you at the Terracotta GRYF store.

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.
