Description
Since the 1980s, Quail Ceramics has specialised in British-made animal figures in hand-painted stoneware. The Westie has its characteristic shaggy coat rendered in fine brushstrokes, and the opening at the top makes it dual-functional – a single anemone or a handful of pencils. A piece of collector's ceramics that lands between sculpture and everyday object, where figurative tradition meets British craftsmanship.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Quail figure and an ordinary ceramic figure?
Quail Ceramics hand-paints each individual figure in stoneware, which means small variations from piece to piece. Where mass-produced figures are identical, Quail's animals have individual brushstrokes and a collector's value as British craftsmanship.
Can you use the Westie figure as a real vase with water?
Yes, the stoneware is glazed and holds water. The figure holds a single flower or a small bouquet – ideal for wildflowers, anemones or a sprig of eucalyptus. Wipe the outside if anything spills.
Are Quail's hand-painted figures dishwasher safe?
The manufacturer states that the stoneware is dishwasher safe, but hand-washing in lukewarm water with mild soap is recommended to preserve the hand-painted surface for as long as possible.
Is the Quail Westie a good gift for a dog lover?
Yes, it's an obvious gift for owners of a West Highland Terrier or collectors of dog memorabilia. It works as both desk decoration and a vase, and the hand-painted detailing makes it a personal birthday or hostess gift.
How big is the Westie figure from Quail?
The figure is 12 cm tall and takes up little space on the desk or shelf. It is big enough to hold pencils and pens, but discreet enough for a windowsill or bedside table.

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.
