Barney is hand-painted in stoneware, meaning each cat has slight variations in color and expression. Quail Ceramics in England has produced ceramic animal figures since 1997, and the Barney cat is one of their best-selling designs. The stoneware is fired at high temperature, making the surface durable for everyday use on the desk or windowsill.
Care and maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth. If you use Barney as a vase, empty the water after use and let it dry completely. The stoneware is not dishwasher safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Quail Ceramics' animal figures and regular ceramic vases?
Quail Ceramics specializes in hand-painted animal figures, where each piece is painted individually. This means the Barney cat has subtle variations in facial expression and color tone compared to mass-produced vases. The stoneware is fired at a higher temperature than regular ceramics, making it more durable.
Can I wash the Barney cat pencil holder in the dishwasher?
No, the hand-painted surface can be damaged in the dishwasher. Wipe it with a damp cloth, and if you have used it as a vase, rinse it gently by hand and let it air dry.
How many pencils can Barney hold?
The opening is about 3-4 cm in diameter, so it can hold 8-12 regular pencils or 5-7 thick markers. Makeup brushes also fit well if you use it in the bathroom.
Is the Barney cat vase a good gift for children's birthdays?
Yes, especially for children who love cats or draw a lot. It works both as a practical pencil holder and as fun decoration in the children's room. Keep in mind that stoneware can break if dropped, so it is best suited for children over 5-6 years old.
Why is the cat named Barney?
Quail Ceramics gives all their animal figures personal names as part of the design concept. Barney is one of the oldest designs in the collection and has been in production since the early 2000s. The name makes the figure more personal and memorable.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
