Hello Kitty Teacup Novelty Alarm Clock

This item is a Hello Kitty themed novelty alarm clock, designed to resemble a teacup and saucer. The main body of the clock is shaped like a white teacup with a wide rim and a prominent handle on the right side. The interior and a decorative border on the top edge of the teacup are a soft pink color, accented with small, darker pink floral or star-shaped decals scattered along the rim. A rectangular digital display, likely an LCD screen, is visible on the front of the teacup, with what appears to be "Hello Kitty" text printed in script below it. Perched on the top flat surface of the teacup, which mimics a tea saucer, is a small figurine of Hello Kitty herself. She is depicted in her classic white pose with a yellow shirt, pink overalls, and a pink and yellow bow on her left ear. To the left of the Hello Kitty figurine, there is what appears to be a translucent yellow disc, possibly representing a lemon slice or a decorative element. Small, pink, heart-shaped or flower-shaped accents are also visible on the top surface. A white electrical cord is wrapped around the base of the teacup, suggesting it is a plug-in device. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, cracks, or heavy wear from the visible angles. The plastic construction suggests it is a mass-produced item, likely from the early 2000s or later, given the Hello Kitty branding and digital display. The craftsmanship appears to be consistent with typical licensed character merchandise, focusing on aesthetic appeal rather than high-end materials or intricate detailing. Its primary function is likely to serve as an alarm clock while also acting as a decorative collectible for Hello Kitty enthusiasts.
