 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.

Figure height 2.17 in, width (front view) 2.00 in. I like music. While listening to the next track, I thought: "I need to try to make an unusual beatmaker." A few days later, the idea came true. Before you is a forest beatmaker Hare. He stuffs the beats on a classic drum machine. Such a figurine is the only one in the world, I have not seen any analogues. I am very happy with the result. Unfortunately, only a connoisseur will be able to understand the figure and appreciate it. DJ Hare wears a Japanese haori shirt with an embroidered Hotei logo on the back. On the head is a trendy bini. The beatmaker is holding a drum machine. The figurine will be a cool gift for a composer, arranger, DJ, record producer.

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.

Pig height 1.14 in, length 2.36 in. The shape of the figure is laconic and at the same time conveys the essence. A lazy piglet is made from terracotta clay. Black glaze is underlined one element, which is the main feature of the sculpture. It is the mat on the back of the Piglet with a hieroglyph, indicating its state at this moment! The mat says «lazy». In China, a pig is a favorable animal. In fact, in Chinese, the word «pig» is consonant with the word «happiness». The Chinese say: «The pig will come to the house and happiness will be in abundance». Besides, the hieroglyph «pig» is included in the hieroglyph «family». The pig in Asia is a symbol of purity and nobility. The Piglet is given with wishes of abundance, happiness and joy. Perfect for a gift as a motivational object (trigger).  The pig is the object of visualization of your laziness, so it can now be fought and won. Put it on your desktop and see how it works. He can also participate in a tea ceremony as a tea spirit in which you can give your own meaning. The Piglet looks great on the kitchen table, reminding that sometimes you need to be lazy, have a cup of coffee and a sandwich without rushing and fuss. All our products are copyrighted.

Each item is a modern Okimono (translated from Japanese «carved figure») - it is a statue intended for decorating the interior. I create tea pets, but how you use them depends only on your imagination.
Products are made in such a way that they acquire a touch of antiquity. They will delight you and your guests with their presence. Figurines will become a very modern stylistic solution in the interior with aesthetics of the East. All products are artistic objects ( a thing to admire). Some of them also are functional (stand for sushi sticks – Hashi Oki and incense stick holder). Each product has its own name, philosophy, and history.
In Chinese and Japanese philosophy, hand-made ceramics contribute to the formation of aesthetics at home and create an atmosphere of comfort. The energy that comes from the clay is magical! Clay is the basis (Earth) from which everything emerges, creating the person and his household items (according to the studies of the East). It is also said that in clay there is a Yang force - positive energy.
Enjoy!
