Description

   Figurine 22 mm high, 83 mm long. The turtle is a symbol of heavenly protection, longevity and wisdom. It brings money.

   The turtle figurine is made of white natural clay. Completely hand-painted with different colors of clay. The eyes and claws are underlined with engobe. It was fired in a kiln at 1040 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is not afraid of boiling water and will keep you company in the tea ceremony. In the palms, when stroking, its pleasant shell texture, porous head and scaly paws are felt. On the belly of the turtle there is also a relief and well-painted shell. Extremely realistic and cute figurine.

   I can make a figure to order according to your sketch or I will make a sketch according to your wishes. If you have any questions or suggestions please write to me.

   With the best wishes for health and good mood, Igor (the author and creator of the figurines).

Handmade monk with a monkey is unique ceramic miniature figurine for a tea ceremony, original gift.
A monk with a monkey is a one-piece figurine. 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. The figurine is made of clay, covered with engobe and food safe glaze. Not afraid of water, but I do not recommend washing in a dishwasher. Very fragile and not a toy for children. Thanks for your interest in my figurines. Hopefully they will find their place on your tea tray, shelf or table.

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).

Wood-fired clay figurine GECKO is an unusual gift.
  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.

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.
