Pen Friend - Steve the Squirrel
Every morning, Steve the Squirrel scampers over the fence and into the Crisanthemum Ceramics yard, eager to catch up with his friends, Beans the Dog and Zumi the Cat.
As they swap stories about the day’s studio happenings, Steve’s curiosity leads him on little adventures among the trees and flowers, adding a playful spark to the studio and a touch of whimsy to your day!
Our Pen Friends are handmade ceramic desk companions, designed to brighten up any workspace. Whether it’s keeping you company at your desk, helping kids stay organized with homework, or adding a whimsical touch to a teacher’s classroom or doctor’s office, these adorable ceramic pen holders make the perfect gift for anyone who could use a smile — and a handy place to store their pen!
In 2024, we rebranded our beloved Pen Friends to celebrate our studio mascots, Beans and Zumi, along with their growing circle of animal companions and the charming treasures they discover on their adventures.
Each Pen Friend is handcrafted, carefully detailed, and kiln-fired to cone 6 for lasting durability. Designed to sit securely on any flat surface, they’re a fun and functional way to add personality to your desk or gift list. Perfect as a thoughtful teacher gift, unique coworker present, or cute ceramic animal figurine for your collection!
