This is a traditional Chinese copper pot, which is engraved with a cat figurine known as "Maneki-neko" or "Bakku-san" in Japanese.

The cat is depicted in a very vivid manner, with its mouth wide open, as if showing off its wealth.

In Chinese culture, this cat has a special significance and is considered a symbol of attracting wealth and fortune.

Therefore, this copper pot is not just an artwork but also a manifestation of blessings and good wishes.
