Description
This teapot is a sitting cat in pink stoneware, with one front paw stretched out to form the spout, a curved handle at its back and a head that lifts off as the lid. It is painted by hand, so the darker stripes over its back and sides, the wide eyes and the fine whiskers all carry the mark of the brush. It holds 500ml, which makes it a small teapot: a personal pot for one or a quiet pot to share, rather than one for a crowd. It stands 20.5cm tall, measures 19cm long and 9cm wide, and weighs 0.62KG.
We see it at the breakfast table, on a tray carried to the sofa or beside you at a desk through a long afternoon, brewing and pouring a slow pot of tea. Its size suits a small household, a weekend lie-in or a quiet hour with a book, when a full family pot would be more than you need. Between pots it earns a place on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser, where the cat sits happily as a piece of decoration in its own right. It also makes a cheerful gift for anyone who loves cats or wants a tea tray with some character.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and the handpainted surface has a high shine. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm the pot with hot water from the kettle rather than in either. To fill it, lift the head straight off, then settle it back in place before you pour. For styling, give the cat room on a table or tray among plain cups and let it do the talking; it also looks at home beside flowers and other painted ceramics. The styling props shown are not included.
