{"product_id":"hemper-lucky-cat-bong","title":"Hemper Lucky Cat Bong","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hemper Lucky Cat Bong takes the maneki-neko — the beckoning cat that sits by the till in Japanese and Chinese shops — and renders it as a working borosilicate glass water pipe. Raised paw, collar, bell and painted detailing, with the body forming the water chamber and the neck rising from behind the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was Hemper's January 2024 theme release. Like everything in their monthly run it was produced as a limited batch rather than an ongoing catalogue line, so once a design sells through it isn't repeated. That's part of why Hemper glass has a collector following rather than just a customer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it performs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNovelty glass gets a reputation for being decorative first and functional second. This isn't that. It takes a standard bowl and downstem, holds a sensible amount of water, and draws like a normal beaker of the same capacity. The wide, low body is genuinely more stable than a straight tube, which matters more than people expect on a coffee table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XL version is a substantial step up rather than a slight one — taller, wider chamber, and heavier in the hand. If you're choosing between them, the regular is the everyday piece and the XL is the centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e borosilicate glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e maneki-neko beckoning cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 2024 Hemper theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e bowl and downstem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lucky Cat family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaped glass has more corners for residue to settle in than a straight tube, so it benefits from more frequent cleaning rather than harder cleaning.
