A cat that's curled up into a ball with their tail wrapped around their body and their head tucked in toward their chest is doing their best to stay warm. This cozy sleeping position is the inspiration behind a range of ceramic cat plates crafted by an artist known as Tatiana (aka Taniko Ga). She creates one-of-a-kind tableware that’s just purrfect for cat lovers.

Available in a range of sizes, from small jewelry dishes to larger, decorative plates, Tatiana’s ceramic creations allow feline fanatics to celebrate our furry friends. Each piece is sculpted from white clay and painted by hand, so every plate is entirely unique. Some even come with a metal loop on the reverse side, so you can hang it on your wall as a piece of art.

“I love cats very much,” says Tatiana. “I also love ceramics. It gives almost limitless opportunities for the realization of my ideas!” From black and white cats to striped tabbies, Tatiana represents a whole range of cat coat colors and patterns. Each plate design features pointed cat ears and an elegantly swooped tail to complete its rounded form. 

Check out some of Tatiana’s ceramic cat plates below and buy your own from her collection on Etsy.
