A happy black cat with two blue birds for friends gazes out from this handcrafted decorative ceramic plate. Designed by Mexican artisan Maria Isabel Cruz, the plate is made using the centuries-old dry rope technique, in which a wax mixture made of magnesium oxide and fat are applied to the outlines of the image or motif prior to glazing. The wax mixture creates a barrier that keeps the different fill colors in the design separate during firing, before burning off to reveal the blackened ceramic beneath. The plate can be hung on a wall for display via the nylon cord on the back.

"Fun, with a message of peace!"
As one who has rescued non-human animals for many years, this art really spoke to me! I believe my cat and birds love it, too!

"Even nicer than the photos"
The Fish Under the Sun and Prickly Pear Chicken arrived, extremely well packed and in perfect condition. The quality of the plates, the colors, and the artwork itself all exceed my expectations. I have wanted to replace some old pictures in my dining room with something livelier and a happier vibe, these are doing a fabulous job of updating the space!

"Happy Owl Lover"
I gave this plate as a gift. My friend is a Owl lover. She was so excited to hang on her wall for all her visitors to see. The design and details are so beautiful. Thanks to Isabel and Novica.??
