【Free Shipping Threshold Zone】Five Cat Sometsuke Mame-Bachi, Single Item (No Box)

🐱 One Qixi Festival, a stray cat wandered into a Mino ware studio, its adorable appearance capturing everyone's attention. Later, it brought along a few feline friends, and the studio decided to feature them as the main characters, creating a heartwarming and delightful cat series. The entire collection uses the sometsuke (blue and white) technique to depict five cats, each with its unique personality. Through their rounded bodies, relaxed expressions, and charming smiles, five distinct cat characters are brought to life. "Mame-bachi" translates to "small bowl." These bowls are shallower and smaller than a typical rice bowl. They can be used as tableware, decorative items, or as small bowls for tea. The five cat characters are: 1. Noraneko (野良猫): In Japanese, this refers to a stray or feral cat. 2. Mike (三毛): A cat with black, white, and orange fur. 3. Hachiware (黑白貓): A cat whose facial markings are divided from the forehead to the sides, often called a "Mercedes cat" in Taiwan. 4. Scottish Fold (蘇格蘭摺耳貓): Characterized by its ears that fold forward. 5. Dora (虎斑白貓): A cat with tabby markings and white fur. ※Does not come with a box. ※Approximate dimensions: Diameter 9cm x Height 2.5cm ※Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
