This piece explodes with contrast—a white kitten, cute as can be, collides with gritty, intricate steampunk machinery. The fluffy feline, with its big blue eyes, is part soft innocence, part mechanical marvel. Gears and cogs replace fur in a surreal, almost Frankenstein-esque fusion of life and machine.
The kitty's body is cracked open to reveal golden clockwork innards, offering a cheeky twist on the traditional porcelain plate. The ornate floral details that surround the kitty give a nod to classic craftsmanship but are flipped on their head by the bold industrial vibe. It’s playful, gritty, and detailed to the max—an intense mashup of cuteness and hard-edged design, where fantasy art meets mechanical reality. Perfect for those who love a bit of chaos in their beauty.
Details are hand painted with gold.
