Handcrafted Five Fanciful Cats Ceramic Decorative Plate, "Cat Fancy"
Five colorful cats across a yellow background smile on this handcrafted decorative ceramic plate perfect for the feline fancier. 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.

"Happy Dance Catitos!"
Having recently visited San Miguel de Allende, I took greatly to the art I saw but unfortunately was unable to buy due to no extra space in my carryon luggage. I am so happy that Novica provides the work of very talented artists! I love this Cat Fancy plate. I placed it in my vestibule area so that when I or someone else come in, it is right there within eyeshot! Looking at this piece of art makes me smile and that is how I want others to feel when walking through my front door! Beautiful piece of work. We just happen to have 2 youngster cats in the house, so it is very fitting.
