Handmade Cat-Face Ceramic Planter

This is a small, cylindrical ceramic planter or mug, hand-painted with a whimsical cat face design. The primary color of the ceramic body is a muted grey, which serves as the background for the distinctive cat features and abstract patches. The cat's face features two large, round white eyes with prominent black pupils, suggesting a wide-eyed or surprised expression. A small, almost invisible dot represents the nose. Three whiskers are painted in black on each side of the face. Scattered across the grey background are irregular patches of orange and a lighter, sandy yellow, giving it a mottled, calico-like appearance. The interior of the vessel appears to be unglazed or very lightly glazed, showing a more natural ceramic tone, while the exterior has a noticeable sheen typical of glazed earthenware. The rim seems slightly uneven, indicative of hand-craftsmanship rather than mass production. There are no visible chips, cracks, or major damage, though the painting has a slightly rustic or folk-art quality, with some unevenness in color application and line work, which contributes to its charm. The style suggests a contemporary hand-made or artisanal origin, possibly a craft project or an item from a local pottery artist. The item's condition appears good, consistent with light use or decorative display. The quality is amateur to semi-professional, emphasizing character over precise perfection.
