About Maria Castillo

About Maria Castillo

”I am from Spain, where I live with my husband and my daughter. My parents taught me the love and respect for dogs; a senior black Labrador and a mixed breed fill my childhood memories. I love to use them as subjects for my drawings. Dogs and painting represent my two passions and what bring me joy.”


”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.”

Great features

  • '4 in 1': an elegant piece of crockery, gift, dog art and (an under-rated) musical instrument.
  • For the price of a doggy mug, you gift a piece of British craftsmanship.
  • Or, you can become a ’Stoke-on-Trent-patron saint’ by starting your collection: buy 6 in any combination and get a 15% off for your contribution to British pottery and fine bone china manufacturing.
  • Each piece we sell helps the revival of china manufacturing in Staffordshire.

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).
