{"product_id":"black-cat-trivet-ceramic","title":"Black Cat | Trivet | Ceramic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBlack Cat Ceramic Trivet — Good Luck, However You Take It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe sits framed in stained-glass colour, green-eyed and entirely composed, surrounded by peonies in full bloom. Ask around the world and you'll get two very different answers about what a \u003cstrong\u003eblack cat\u003c\/strong\u003e actually means. In Ancient Egypt she was sacred, closely tied to \u003cstrong\u003eBastet\u003c\/strong\u003e, protector of the home. Sailors in Britain and Ireland once kept black cats aboard ship specifically for luck, convinced they brought calmer seas and safer voyages, and in Scotland, a black cat appearing on the doorstep was taken as a sign that good fortune was close behind. In Japan she appears as the \u003cstrong\u003emaneki-neko\u003c\/strong\u003e, the beckoning cat, believed to draw in good fortune — and, for the hopeful, a little luck in love too. It was really only in parts of Western Europe that she picked up her more ominous reputation, cast as a witch's familiar and blamed for centuries of bad luck that was never truly hers to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis trivet holds all of that history in one sleek, self-assured design — jewel-toned, richly detailed, and just as happy displayed on a shelf as doing the job it was made for. A little good fortune for the kitchen table, whichever version of the story you believe. Finished with a cork backing to protect surfaces beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 20cm.
