【Best-Seller Return】Five Cats Sometsuke Mamezara Gift Set

🐱 During the Tanabata festival one year, a stray cat wandered into a Mino ware pottery studio, its charming appearance capturing everyone's attention. It later brought along several feline companions, inspiring the studio to create a heartwarming and delightful cat series centered around them. The entire collection is adorned with the *sometsuke* (underglaze blue) technique, showcasing five unique cats through their rounded figures, relaxed and languid expressions, and charming quirks that bring an undeniable smile. A *mamezara* literally means "bean dish" and is an essential piece of tableware on Japanese dining tables. Small and delicate, fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand, these dishes are not only indispensable supporting players at the meal but also serve beautifully as home decor. They offer a unique charm for organizing small items like loose change, accessories, or keys. The five cats are: 1. Noraneko (野良猫): Meaning "stray cat" or "feral cat" in Japanese. 2. Mike (三花): A cat with black, white, and orange markings. 3. Hachiware (黒白): A cat whose facial markings split from the forehead to the sides, often referred to as a "Mercedes cat" in Taiwan. 4. Scottish Fold (スコティッシュ): Characterized by its ears that fold forward. 5. Toratama (虎斑白): A cat with tabby markings and white fur. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54201511080_338a5b9800_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53266896617_19f1c88434_w.jpg ※ Comes with a gift box, available in a Dark blue wide flat gift box and a White cube gift box. ※ Approximate dimensions: Diameter 8cm × Height 1.7cm ※ Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
