“Black Cat for Good Luck” Ceramic Set – Irina Vachkova (Termodvoyka)

The “Black Cat for Good Luck” ceramic set is an enchanting original work by Irina Vachkova (Termodvoyka), turning three functional objects into a little story told through drawing, light and atmosphere.

The set comprises a cup, a small plate and a large plate, all united by one narrative. A quiet nocturnal landscape unfolds across the smooth ceramic surfaces, featuring an old house, slender cypress trees, a crescent moon and the central character—the mysterious black cat.

The black cat’s silhouette brings character and gentle playfulness to the composition. Instead of carrying its traditional superstitious associations, here it becomes a good omen—a small talisman bearing a wish for good luck.

The old architecture and cypress trees create a romantic atmosphere, while the crescent moon strengthens the feeling of a quiet evening. Each image is rendered with the fine graphic drawing characteristic of Irina Vachkova’s ceramic art.

The delicate yellow highlights are particularly beautiful. They glimmer within the muted palette like lights in the night, bringing warmth and comfort to the composition.

The three pieces are conceived as elements of one shared visual world. Each object has its own presence, but when placed together the cup and two plates reveal the complete story and form a unified composition.

“Black Cat for Good Luck” is a wonderful example of how functional ceramic ware can become original art. The pieces can be used in everyday life while retaining the decorative character of small hand-painted artworks.

The set is a beautiful choice for the home and a particularly original gift—for a cat lover, an admirer of studio ceramic, or simply someone to whom you would like to give a little more good luck.

A black cat that brings good luck
