Francisco Calero's Cat Vases



Lots of people love cats. Francisco Calero, an established potter in San Juan de Oriente outside of Masaya, Nicaragua, has taken this to heart, and designed several vases with cat motifs.











When I've brought these pots back to the US to sell, they go like hotcakes!














He makes them in a variety of colors, and in a soft spherical shape or a partially compressed square shape. I usually waterproof them using masonry sealant on the interior (it takes several coats), so that they can be used for either live plant material or silk and dried material. They are always a wonderful gift for the special cat lover!
