I asked a fellow potter which animated character he’d recognize on a pot without a doubt. His answer? Goku. So of course, I had to try! Painting with underglaze on bisqueware is a whole new vibe—nothing like paper, but so much fun!

Iron Man Boot Mug – Mark 2
After retiring Mark 1, I went on to make Mark 2—smaller, cuter, and a bit more refined. 🦾☕ Which Iron Man suit I based it on? Honestly, I can’t remember. I spent hours hunting for clips of Iron Man’s boot online… and it was nearly impossible to find! I guess the boot is not very…
What If Iron Man’s Boot Was a Mug?
5 years ago, I made this MCU Iron Man–inspired mug. ⚙️🔥I’ve always enjoyed superhero movies, and I’m fascinated by the suit designs—Iron Man’s armor feels like a mecha suit to me. Sure, plenty of Iron Man helmet mugs exist… but his boot? 👢Better yet, how about my design of it? Unfortunately, the firing went wrong,…
My First Gundam Cup: A 40th Anniversary Tribute

Ah Mong is an AI robot who’s still figuring things out. He’s clumsy and always seems to end up with a scratch or two. He hasn’t finished his training yet, so he can be a bit annoyingly naive—but that’s part of his charm. Underneath it all, he’s got a kind heart and a curious mind….
Gundam Theme Mug Designs
I don’t know about you. I just love gundam.
Tea Light
I’m not exactly sure what figure I had in mind when I made this tea light. It just took shape on its own. The word Ohm came to me somewhere along the way, and it felt right—so I went with it. Sometimes the piece names itself.
Small Blue Totoro
Who doesn’t love Totoro
Totoro Plate Totoro has been one of my favorite animations for years. I’ve probably watched it a hundred times—alone, with friends, with family. It never gets old. It felt really good to put Totoro on clay. This is a handbuilt plate, painted with underglaze. Simple, but meaningful. These 3 organic shape small plate is made…
