The is a cat, hand painted in underglaze before the first firing. The front has grass & flowers. After that a clear glaze is added to the outside & the inside was glazed green. The inside is completed glazed so it is food & water safe. It could be used to hold flowers or just for display. It is actually food safe, so you could also use it for breadsticks too. It is 6 inches tall to the tip of the tail & 5 1/2 inches across. The opening is 3 inches in diameter. I have shown one photo with a soda can to give you an idea of the size. This style of animal is made from a slab of clay & then rolled into a cylinder. A bottom is attached & then I alter it to form the body pushing out the sides & the lip of the vase. A face & sometimes tails are added. Some pieces have underglaze hand painted on the outside for detail & are clear glazed while others just get coated in colored glaze. I like them to be whimsical & fun so I tend to play loose with shapes & colors. No one piece is ever exactly like the next, so they are all original & one of a kind. I believe in recycling all of my packaging materials as to save on waste. What is inside the box is really pretty but the outside might be a box & packing paper I have received from someone else. I try & double box all of my pieces as much as possible for protection so they will also be heavier than normal. Since everything I create is one of a kind, I try & keep it as safe as I can while it is traveling to its new home. Import duties & other charges are not included in the shipping cost.
