Custom

Your cat, in our hands

Pick your cat's coat and eye colour, tell us their name, and send a photo if you like. We build a stylised version of them on our mug: same body, same tail handle, your cat's colours. It is inspired by your cat, not a portrait, and it is hand-built and hand-painted in Chongqing, China, by qiuqiu and Lisa.

Questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

No two are the same. Hand-building leaves small marks: a speck, a pinhole, a slightly uneven glaze or a wobbly rim. That is the point, and it is not a defect.

Can I return a mug?

Numbered mugs: yes, within 30 days, unused, and you cover shipping both ways. Custom mugs: no returns, they were made for your cat.

How long does a custom mug take?

3 to 4 weeks to make, then shipping. We confirm your cat's colours and name before we start.

My cat is white, or has a short tail. Can you still make one?

Yes. A white cat gets a painted background so it stands out on the white clay. A short or kinked tail becomes a shorter handle with a painted flourish. Very complex coats get simplified, and we tell you before you pay.

Do you make dogs or other animals?

Not yet. The tail handle is built around a cat's body, and a dog-friendly shape is still on the workbench. Join the list and we will say when it exists.

We have more than one cat.

One cat per mug is the default; a second cat on the same mug is +$30, placed around the body. Or order one mug per cat.
