ART PIECE Buffalo Figurine
JPY 5,500 (incl. tax)
In 2017, animal figurines handmade one by one in our Tokyo workshop joined the POTPURRI collection.
Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
With its large horns, the buffalo is a powerful animal with a strong herd instinct.
Buffalo run across the land in herds. To soften this animal's powerful presence, we carved leaf patterns into its body, as if fallen leaves had stuck to it after a mud bath at a savanna oasis. Try displaying it beneath a potted plant, imagining it standing among the trees.
Dimensions: W140 × D65 × H110 mm
Material Porcelain

Things we need, things we do not—and things we still want in our lives
POTPURRI has made art pieces since its early days. In 2018, production moved from Seto in Aichi Prefecture to our Tokyo workshop. Every stage is done by hand, from making the original model and developing the glaze to producing the finished pieces.
What animal could this be?
We gave shape to an animal that is difficult to put a name to.
Something like a horned cow—or perhaps a goat—peering out of yellow grass on the savanna.
An endearing creature with bold horns, a small face and a powerful body.
Hard to name, this art piece became our Buffalo. Its coloring proved more challenging than that of the other animals. Its distinctive shade is neither brown, yellow nor amber.
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop opened in 2017, beginning with hand-painted Fajans pieces.
Today, half of our art pieces are made in the Tokyo workshop.
Handmade animal figurines joined the POTPURRI collection in 2017.
From Arctic polar bears and grassland hedgehogs to waterbirds and savanna buffalo, our growing collection takes inspiration from animals around the world. Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
Choose a favorite animal or enjoy adding companions to your collection.
Each piece is handmade in our Tokyo workshop and carries the “made in tokyo” mark.
