CHIKOCRAFT BY IKO

CAT TRINKET DISHES. These are SO adorable – very tiny, sweet, gorgeous handmade art that comes to you all the way from the great state of Georgia in the US of A. Artist Iko has an Etsy company named ChikoCraft, and she has sold thousands of miraculously miniature earrings, jewellery pendants, tiny bottles filled with magically tiny things and, of course, her gloriously good trinket plates. Her whimsical cat plates are hand built with porcelain clay and then fired twice. The detail is hand drawn with black underglaze, and high fire clear glaze is applied for a glossy finish. The ceramic is white to creamy white in colour. Iko says the dishes can be a simple ring dish, “or whatever you would like them to be.” She has donated two plates to this auction – one is a tabby cat, the other is a tuxedo kitty. Both are about three inches wide; one has feet, one does not. Porcelain is durable, but it’s also breakable, so handle with care. “I aspire to create products that will serve as delightful little surprises, whether it's a whimsical pair of earrings or a necklace featuring a unique pendant or design,” she says.
