Artistry & Design Features

PLAYFUL SPIRIT SERIES

Expressive Craftsmanship: Features a unique, comical expression with hand-sculpted fangs and bright, contrasting eyes that bring the character to life.
Matte Black Finish: The dark, unglazed ceramic surface provides excellent porosity, ideal for "nourishing" with tea oils to achieve a deep patina.
Compact & Balanced: Perfectly sized for any Chaban (tea tray), with a weighted base to ensure stability during the tea pour.
Artisan Seal: Each piece features a stamped mark on the bottom, authenticating its handcrafted ceramic origin.

Care & Nourishment Ritual

To cultivate the character of your Grinning Cat:

The Ritual: Regularly pour hot tea or the initial "wash" directly over the figurine to allow the clay to absorb the minerals and oils.
Grooming: Use a tea brush to distribute liquid evenly across the ears and face to ensure consistent color development.
Safe Cleaning: Rinse with clean, warm water only. Avoid soaps or chemical detergents to preserve the natural structure of the ceramic.
