Description

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.

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.

Igor's work is incredible! My wife noticed me looking at his teapets on Instagram and bought me one for the holidays. My new badger pal looks great on my tea table, and has so much character. I think he will not be my last teapet from Terracotta GRYF. These are made with great skill and care.
I love the three birds, they are so cute to see and so delicate made and with great precision. Really a little piece of art. It will be a real treasure on my teatable. It came in a exceptional decorated box and an amazing drawing of the birds. Love it all. Thank you Igor for this all!
My fiancée and I love our raccoon tea pet! I was especially impressed with the artwork of the tea pet that was included in our package. Looking forward to putting that drawing in a frame and getting it hung up on a wall soon!
