Description

Height of the dog 1.97 in, width (front view) 1.57 in. The dog has a minimalistic design. He seemed to have descended from Japanese prints. Despite the minimalistic features, he has a well-developed form. The dog is made of clay, but very much resembles a jade figurine.

Dog as you know it is a friend of man. He personifies dedication, courage and vigilance. It is a symbol of protection and self-sacrifice. I believe that a dog figurine should be in every home, especially if it is unusual and handmade. This figurine is perfect for any interior. Will be a wonderful guardian of your tea tray. I am sure that the dog will delight you and will certainly attract the attention of your guests.

This mini statue is made of white fireclay clay. Covered with engobe and transparent food glaze. The materials that are used in the manufacture of the dog are safe. This figure is not afraid of water, but fragile.

Thanks for your interest in the figurines. I hope you become one of the owners of this unusual figure in a single copy.

    Best regards, Igor (author and creator of the products).

Handmade monk sculpture with a monkey is unique ceramic miniature tea pet for tea ceremony Gongfucha, original artwork, handmade ceramic gift.
A monk with a monkey is a one-piece handmade ceramic sculpture. Its height 2.83 in, width 1.42 in, depth 1.89 in. A monk is associated with peace, enlightenment and patience. The monkey is dexterous and agile. According to my idea, the monk was meditating and a monkey sat on his shoulders. She liked to sit like that, and although the monk was indignant, over time he got used to it and they became friends. For me it is a symbol of patience and friendship. This one of a kind figurine is made of natural clay, covered with engobe and food safe glaze by pencil. Not afraid of boiling water, but I do not recommend washing in a dishwasher. It's fragile and not a toy for children. Thanks for your interest in my figurines. Hopefully they will find their place on your tea tray as a tea pet, will looks great as a decorative sculpture on your shelf or table.

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.

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).

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.

Wonderful creations and fast shipping to the U.S. Highly recommended.

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.
