A whimsical ceramic teapot designed in the shape of a Maneki-neko, or lucky cat, featuring a removable lid that forms the cat's head.
The Maneki-neko, meaning beckoning cat, is a common Japanese figurine often believed to bring good luck to its owner. While traditionally ceramic figurines, various functional homeware items like this teapot emerged in the mid-to-late 20th century as mass-produced decorative collectibles.
