It gently snuggles up to you with a gentle expression that makes your heart warm.
A white owl is calmly sitting in a tree burrow, and it is an indescribably cute vase. The texture of the wood is realistically reproduced by the color of the glaze and the way the lines are inserted. The gentle form that leaves traces of hands is unique to pottery. The owl's round eyes and small nose are very cute and impressive.
