Unlike other white porcelain cat tepots, this charmingly plump one is a single piece. Tea is poured from its raised paw but it has no removable head for adding water.

It is whimsically and colorfully hand painted with a thin ribbon-like gold collar with dangling ornamental tassels and red, brown, gold, orange and black accents defining the face, ears, head, and paws.

This rare wood carving of the Buddha as an infant is remarkable because of the way it has survived. As with many antique Chinese wood carvings, there is extensive deterioration from age/insect damage. Although there is total loss to the arms, legs and torso, it is virtually untouched from the neck up. This is a piece for lovers of wood, with the body worn to a delicately smooth but irregular surface. It is probably more striking than original piece, as its erosion shows the random miracle of chance and is highlighted on a frosted acrylic base. .
