This collection gathers our cat pieces in one place: mugs, teacups, gift sets and chopsticks, all sourced directly from Japanese kilns and makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find work from two traditions here. Kutani ware, from Ishikawa Prefecture, is hand-painted in bold overglaze colour, which is why the cats on our Atelier Yu pieces have such distinct character — no two are quite identical. Mino ware, from Gifu Prefecture, is built for daily use: sturdy, well-glazed and comfortable in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCat mugs and pair sets for coffee and tea, Kutani teacups, Lucky Cat Daruma mugs and boxed gift sets, and a cat-themed tea and chopstick set.

The \u003cstrong\u003emaneki-neko\u003c\/strong\u003e, or beckoning cat, is thought to invite prosperity — traditionally, a raised left paw draws in customers and a raised right paw draws in money. The \u003cstrong\u003edaruma\u003c\/strong\u003e doll represents perseverance: knocked over, it always rights itself. Together they make one of the more meaningful gifts you can give someone starting something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash hand-painted Kutani pieces to protect the overglaze detail.

This 360ml teapot is hand-painted in the Kutani ware tradition by Atelier Yu, carrying the same cats-in-a-sunny-spot scene as the best-selling Sunny Spot mug, so the cats stretch out across the belly of the pot in the soft, warm palette Kutani has been known for since the seventeenth century. Kutani ware comes from Ishikawa in western Japan and has always been the painter's pottery rather than the potter's, which is why the scene, not the shape, is the point here. The 360ml body pours two to three cups, the right size for a slow morning alone or an afternoon pot shared with one other person, and it suits sencha, hojicha and everyday black tea equally well. Because every piece is painted by hand, the depth of the colour and the weight of each line shift slightly from one pot to the next, so no two are identical. That variation is the signature of genuine hand-finished Kutani, not a fault to be sorted out. It arrives gift boxed, which makes it an easy choice for a housewarming, a birthday, or anyone who has quietly built their life around the ritual of tea.

It is hand-painted by Atelier Yu in the Kutani ware tradition of Ishikawa, and the cats-in-a-sunny-spot scene sits right at the centre of the plate where the food usually goes, so it comes back into view as the plate empties. Porcelain gives this piece a brighter white ground and a crisper edge than the stoneware in our range, which makes the ochres, greens and soft blues of the painting read sharper than they do on a mug.
