KuroNeko
Kuro means "black," neko means "cat." These pieces feature hand-painted black cats and a small paw print — the cats have a slightly grumpy expression, inspired by my own cat Columbo, who never smiles. Grumpy, but lovable. The series includes yunomi cups, bowls, spoons, and keyrings.
Made from reclaimed clay — you may notice small specks or flecks in the surface, part of the material's story and a reminder that no two pieces are ever quite the same.
A yunomi featuring three hand-painted black cats and a small paw print inside the cup. A small dimple on the side adds a little detail, comfortable in the hand.
Approximately 7cm diameter, 7cm height 150ml.
Recommend handwashing, though occasional dishwasher use is fine.

A little glimpse behind the scenes of the making process.
A small spoon with a delicate paw print on the back, shaped by hand rather than from a mould, so each one comes out a little different. The cat is hand-painted with a slightly grumpy expression — choose between a white-moustached cat or a handsome black cat.
Approximately 11cm.
Recommend handwashing, though occasional dishwasher use is fine.
