OUT-OF-STOCK ITEMS: when ordering out-of-stock items, there is usually approximately a 6 week lead time before items are dispatched for delivery. This is because all of our products are handmade with utmost care and ceramics is a lengthy, involved process. This lead time includes any customisations you might request.

IN-STOCK ITEMS: as soon as your order is ready, we'll dispatch it, and depending on which shipping option you chose, you'll have it within 24-96 hours. Please note: this applies to deliveries within South Africa only. Delivery times to other countries will vary, and will be discussed with you if you're ordering internationally.

CUSTOMISATIONS OF IN-STOCK ITEMS: if you select an order customisation when ordering an in-stock item - e.g. the addition of 24karat gold embellishments or typography - this will add two weeks to delivery as we work on these customisations.

BESPOKE ORDERS: the delivery time for special requests will be discussed with you as part of the process.

We are a Cape Town based ceramics studio specialising in creating adorable custom ceramics to celebrate the people and occasions that matter to you most!

Every single one of our products is lovingly handmade using stoneware clay and hand-painted using only the finest materials.
