Animal Ceramic Cups & Tea Sets: A Buying Guide
ANGELODINI · Gift & Size Guide
Start with how you want to use the piece: a small drinking cup, a reversible display, a cup that also pours, or a teapot with matching cups. The designs differ in capacity and what is included.
Compare shapes, capacities and included pieces

Cat & Dog: compact espresso cups
Cat and Dog each hold approximately 110 mL / 3.7 US fl oz. Each measures approximately 11.3 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm high (4.45 × 2.95 in). These are small serving cups rather than standard full-size coffee mugs.
Use upright for drinking; reverse only when empty, clean and dry. Hand wash gently; do not use a dishwasher or microwave. Avoid impacts and sudden temperature changes.
Compare the approximate 110 mL capacity with the amount you normally pour, including any milk you add. If your usual drink is larger, choose a larger cup rather than expecting either animal design to hold it.
For a practical sense of scale, review the hand-held photographs. Do not assume a cup will fit a particular coffee machine solely because it is described as an espresso cup; compare the machine clearance with the listed dimensions.
Octopus: sculptural tentacles
The 170 mL ceramic mug is available in Sand or Ivory, with a gift box. Its overall width, including the handle, is approximately 9 cm; its height is approximately 6.7 cm. The width is not the rim diameter. Follow its product-page care guidance.
Elephant: one piece, two uses
The colorful 150 mL ceramic cup/pourer is approximately 7.5 cm in diameter and 7 cm high. Drink from the rim or pour through the trunk. A gift box is included; any receiving cup used in a demonstration is separate.
Choose a Cat Teapot configuration
Choose Black or Orange Tabby, then select the lidded teapot alone (no cups), with two cups, or with four cups. Capacity and dimensions are not listed. Tea set packaging, dishwasher suitability and microwave suitability are not confirmed; do not infer these details from the original Cat Espresso Cup.
