About this item: Working in cool green Celadon ceramic, Duangkamol depicts the lucky Maneki Neko. These figurines depict Japanese bobtail cats who bring good fortune. With their cheerful, smiling faces, they raise their right paws to attract money and their left paws to draw customers. Cats are Duangkamol's favorite animal. About our Artist: Duangkamol Srisukri is from Bangkok. 'Most of my works are Thai and Chinese reproductions like vases, ginger jars, and figurines,' she says. 'My intention is to maintain the ancient art of celadon and stoneware so that future generations can enjoy these pieces. Together with other artists, we have created beautiful hand-crafted pieces with ornate incisions and bas relief. Each piece that I make has many stories to tell. Each piece is individually signed by the artist who has worked on it.'
