Panda-Themed Ceramic Planter or Oversized Mug

This is a contemporary ceramic vessel designed in the likeness of a stylized panda bear. The item features a bulbous, rounded body finished in a glossy taupe or brownish-grey glaze across the main surface. It is flanked by two large, protruding spherical 'ears' finished in a high-gloss black glaze. The panda's facial features are rendered using white and dark grey line work, depicting squinting eyes, a triangular nose, and a simple 'W' shaped smile. The vessel sits on a slightly tapered ring base. Physically, it appears to be a medium-sized decorative item, likely intended for use as a novelty planter or a large soup mug. The construction shows clean seams at the ear attachments, suggesting a mass-produced mold-cast origin. The glaze is remarkably reflective, showing significant catchlights from overhead fluorescent lighting, indicating a smooth, glass-like finish without visible crazing. No visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear are apparent in the image, suggesting it is in 'as-new' retail condition. The design style is modern 'kawaii' (cute) aesthetic, popular in home goods from the late 2010s to the present. There are no maker's marks visible on the exterior surfaces; such marks would typically be located on the unglazed underside of the base.
