An orange mama cat and her three colorful kittens happily play together on 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.

This plate was even better than shown online. I was very pleased with the picture, the bright colours, and the workmanship. It is hanging on the wall in my kitchen and it brings a smile to my face each time I pass it.

I have owned cats since 1980. I love to have a few decorative items in my home that display my love of felines. This whimsical plate is so cheerful and I love the vibrant colors. I put it in a stand and have it in my guest room.
