Mouse on Сheese Figurine

Hand-carved of ceramics with a glossy finish, a charming little mouse sleeps atop a piece of cheese. The artisans of Yaroslavl Majolica hand painted this figurine, making a charming home accent to keep in any household and add some whimsy to your decor. The art of ceramic glazing was born somewhere around the Mediterranean, but this style of painting on a white opaque glaze became associated with the wares that the potters of the island of Majorca exported all over the world. In the 18th century, the craft came to the Russian town of Yaroslavl, where the clay is still of the highest quality and the artists - true masters of their craft. Finessed & delicate, these beautiful home accent pieces are truly one-of-a-kind gifts!
