Inspired by Alder, the quiet guardian of my studio, this hand-carved mug captures the mystique and majesty of the Maine Coon—part companion, part legend.
With tufted ears, a ruffled mane, and that unmistakable plume of a tail, this piece was shaped more by intuition than design—just like the cats themselves, who always seem to arrive when you need them most.
 
Whether you live alongside one of these gentle giants or simply admire their wild, watchful grace, this mug is a tribute to the bond that can’t be taught—only felt.
 
Each piece is carved by hand, making every mug as unique as the cat who inspired it.
