About Maria Castillo
”My Pop Art reminiscent style brings dog portraits to a new level of modernity. “Less is more”: A limited colour palette and carefully designed shapes help a dog’s personality to “pop up”. In addition, the vibrant background colours and areas of dots and lines reflect the fun-loving dog personality.”

Important warnings for all doggies and humans: You may think, "hmm, these guys talk differently about these doggy mugs...". And you are right. Fine bone china manufacturing is labour and (human) skills intensive and has been pushed to the brink of extinction in the UK. However, a few dedicated characters try to save the industry and pass on the craftsmanship and heritage to future generations. We believe their efforts are worth our praise, and their purpose is as noble and awe-inspiring as a pure breed Weimaraner on a hilltop on a sunny Sunday morning. Imagine that!
We are 100% deedoggy, almost 100% serious here (it’s the exception, not the rule).
