Tealight holder/oil burner handmade from Stoneware clay.Dimensions:Base: 7.5cm tall, 8.5cm diameter approx.Top plate – 10cm diameter approx.Designed to hold candles and burn oils but can also be used to store trinkets or anything you like! Cat sculpture is subject to change but the top plate will always have a hand sculpted cat 
We start by designing on paper (There’s something about the feeling of jotting something down roughly to cement it in reality, it really helps to solidify the idea) then refining it digitally. All our pieces are made from Stoneware clay that has been rolled out into sheets and cut into shapes that then stuck together, once we have the general shape, we manipulate it into the final form by pressing, squeezing and pushing the clay. Once the form is completed, we then move on to the surface decoration. Each color needs to be tested; you never know what magic might happen in the kiln! After the colors are tested, we etch on, and hand paint every design. Some colors need at least 2 to 4 coats to ensure good coverage, making decorating alone, a long process. We the fire our pieces twice – we bisc to 1000 degrees (11hours) and then glaze fire to 1300 degrees (around 14hrs). Pottery is a long and slow process but the pieces that come out at the end are always worth it
All our pieces are food safe, microwavable and dishwasher safe unless stated otherwise. Although we do prefer hand washing as it helps mitigate bumping and any extreme temperature fluctuations that can happen inside a dishwasher. We also recommend not microwaving if you can help it and allowing the pieces to fully dry overnight beofre putting them into storage. By following these care tips we hope to mitigate any risk of breakage and increase the longevity of your new hand-made pottery

Moogle Pottery

Colorful and cute cat pottery

Hi everyone!We are Moogle pottery, cat enthusiast, designing, hand making and hand painting pottery to brighten up and add a little extra joy to your everyday rituals. I took some wheel throwing classed but fell in love with hand building – which I learnt from reading books, practicing and watching youtube tutorials! Our pieces are made from rolled out slabs of stoneware which are then gently coaxed into shapes that are beautiful and functional.
