Delivers Authenticity You Can Feel

There's a discernible weight and coolness to the glass, and the gold leaf has a subtle texture. This tangible quality, as users say, 'feels legit' and different from mass-produced resin or prints.

Creates a Personalized Lucky Charm

Because the gold leaf is hand-applied, your plate is unique. This personal touch allows it to become 'your' lucky cat, a specific charm for your specific journey.

1. Clean the intended surface with a dry cloth. Place the plate on a stable, level surface like a desk, shelf, or entryway table. 2. For best results, position the plate so the lucky cat's raised paw faces the room's entrance, a traditional practice for 'beckoning' good fortune. 3. Dust weekly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the gold leaf. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Notice the plate's clarity and the detailed gold leaf work. It becomes a consistent visual anchor in your space. Week 2-3: The charm integrates into your daily routine, serving as a subtle, positive reminder.

Week 4+: The piece becomes a trusted part of your environment, with customers often noting it 'feels like it belongs' and contributes to a curated, intentional atmosphere.

Aderia began in 1961 in Toyama, Japan, a region famed for its glass craftsmanship. Our master artisans created this plate not just as decor, but as a functional charm to bring the specific, tangible luck of the Maneki-neko into daily life. We selected only 24K gold leaf from certified Kyoto suppliers and hand-fuse it to crystal-clear, lead-free glass at our GMP-certified factory. Each piece undergoes a 7-point inspection for clarity and gold adhesion. This 90mm size was developed based on direct customer feedback for a charm that's 'noticeable but not overwhelming.' It has consistently ranked as a top-3 bestseller in our charm category for 5 consecutive years, chosen by over 10,000 customers for its authentic craftsmanship and perceived efficacy.

The Aderia Japanese Glass Plate with Gold Leaf Lucky Cat - 90mm Charm is crafted primarily from high-quality soda-lime glass, a traditional material in Japanese glassmaking known for its clarity, durability, and ability to be molded into intricate designs. This glass composition provides a smooth, transparent base that enhances the visual appeal of the charm, allowing light to pass through and highlight the decorative elements. The product features genuine gold leaf applied through a meticulous handcrafted process, which adds a luxurious, shimmering accent symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in Japanese culture. The gold leaf is included not only for its aesthetic value but also to embody the Lucky Cat's (Maneki-neko) traditional role as a talisman for attracting luck and wealth. Additionally, the charm may incorporate small metallic components, such as a jump ring or clasp, typically made from brass or stainless steel, to ensure secure attachment to keychains or accessories. These materials collectively offer benefits of durability for everyday use, cultural authenticity, and a visually striking design that serves as both a functional charm and a meaningful decorative piece, aligning with Aderia's reputation for quality Japanese craftsmanship.
