  • Porcelain
  • Made in Japan

A small sun of a lucky cat. This Kutani maneki neko wears a warm yellow robe built up in moriage — raised white slip piped onto the surface in dots, rosettes, and blossom sprays you can feel in relief — with a red collar and a round gold bell at its chest, and its left paw raised high in the gesture traditionally said to welcome people in.

Raised dot-medallions in orange and blue, white floral sprays with green accents, yellow-ringed eyes, red inner ears, and fine whisker brushwork finish the piece; the base carries the workshop's red brush signature and an impressed seal. Every cat is decorated individually, so patterns and colors vary slightly from piece to piece.

• Made by a Kutani ware workshop in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, curated by ZenKiln

Compact enough for a desk, entry shelf, or shop counter — a cheerful gift for housewarmings, new ventures, Father's Day, and cat lovers; see more in our lucky cats collection.
