Product Insights
The Adorable Black Cat Mug by Simons Maison costs CA$10 and offers studio-ceramic uniqueness from a hand-applied reactive glaze that is dishwasher and microwave safe, a rarity for reactive-glaze pieces, while its squat, wide-mouth design speeds cooling and releases aroma to soften bitterness, though the hand-application causes slight volume variance between mugs. Cat lovers adore it as a versatile, lightweight daily-use item or decor, and it arrives safely packaged matching product photos exactly, fitting under brewers without tray removal due to its half-inch shorter height, holding about 11.5 oz at typical fill.

Que du bonheur
J’ai plaisir à boire mon café dans cette belle tasse. Les chats me font sourire.
Cute mug!
Bought in honour of my late cat, who is much missed. The wideness of the mouth does mean that heat escapes quickly, hence the loss of a star.
Cutest ever
I purchased this as a gift for my niece. She loves cats and cute looking pottery. This was absolutely adorable and perfect for a teenager.
A gift for a good friend
She already has so many car things, but this cup is sooooo adorable
Super cute!
