{"product_id":"vintage-ceramic-opium-cat-bed-warmer-brown-glazed-hot-water-bottle-1970s","title":"Vintage Ceramic Opium Cat Bed Warmer, Brown Glazed Hot Water Bottle, 1970s","description":"This charming vintage ceramic “Opium Cat” is a traditional style bed warmer designed to be filled with hot water and used as a head or neck rest, foot warmer, or simply as a sculptural decorative accent.\n\nThe name “Opium Cat” refers to historic ceramic cat forms originating from Chinese tradition. While the name remained over time, pieces like this were primarily used as warming vessels for comfort during colder nights. Today, it makes a distinctive statement piece with both cultural reference and practical heritage.\n\nThe warm brown glaze has beautiful tonal variation, giving the cat depth and character. Its sculptural, reclining form makes it equally suited for an eclectic interior, a curated vintage shelf, or as a conversation piece.\n\nThere are two small areas where the glaze did not fully adhere during production. These are clearly visible in the photos and video and are reflected in the price. They are not structural flaws and do not affect usability. In my opinion, they add authentic vintage charm.\n\nVery good vintage condition overall.\n\nDimensions\nHeight 11 cm, 4.3 inches\nWidth 12.5 cm, 4.9 inches\nLength 29 cm, 11.4 inches\nWeight 1175 g\n\nA rare and unusual piece that combines function, folklore and sculptural design.\n\nIf you're outside the EU, please message me for shipping costs.\n• Color may vary on your screen, slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color\n• Some lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur. Please check my original product photos for the exact item you will receive.\n• All my items are vintage. Please zoom in on the photos to review closely and expect there to be slight imperfections or signs of age.
