Description
3D Peekaboo Hippo Ceramic Coffee Mug — a sculptural drinkware piece that turns every sip into a small discovery. Designed and fired in Dehua, the porcelain capital of China, for specialty coffee brands, gift retailers and OEM collections.
Product Overview
A delightfully quirky ceramic coffee mug built around a hidden surprise: an intricately sculpted 3D hippo figurine rests at the bottom of the cup, its eyes and snout just breaking the surface of your coffee. As the liquid level drops, the hippo slowly reveals itself — a playful “peekaboo” moment that transforms an everyday brew into a talking point and a shareable customer experience.
The body is crafted from durable mid-fire stoneware, finished in a high-gloss chartreuse glaze with a smooth white interior for clean flavour expression. The wide rim and comfortable C-shaped handle suit latte, flat white, filter coffee and tea alike. Every unit is fired at 1220°C–1260°C, giving a dense, chip-resistant body that is microwave and dishwasher friendly.
Beyond the stock hippo, the same sculpting platform supports crocodiles, pandas and fully bespoke brand mascots — an ideal vehicle for character-led merchandising, coffee chain exclusives and premium gift sets.
