Custom Hand-Painted Pet Portrait on 7.5 inch bisque plate

Hand-painted ceramic portraiture offers a unique, functional art element that can be both displayed and used as a functional dish.

The artist begins by sketching your pet’s portrait; when the sketch is approved by you, acclaimed artist, Ariane Kamps will draw and paint their portrait right onto the clay form. The memory of your companion’s spirit is brought to life on an object meant to be held and cherished for generations.

Using fine underglaze pencils and specialized ceramic pigments, I meticulously illustrate your companion's distinct features directly onto the contoured surface. Fire-sealed for permanence, each custom piece transforms a functional object into an heirloom designed to memorialize those beloved members of the family in their happiest moments.

Please note:

This listing is for a custom commission slot, not a pre-made item. Because your pet's portrait is entirely hand-illustrated and requires multi-stage kiln firings, please allow a 4–6 week production turnaround before your piece ships.

Thank you for your patience while I create your commissioned artwork.

Ceramic Care

To protect your hand-illustrated heirloom for years to come, please follow these recommended guidelines:

• • Wash by hand: Gently wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge.

  • Avoid the dishwasher and microwaves: Rapid temperature changes can cause stress fractures in the ceramic body.

  • Handle with care: Treat this piece with the same love you would show a painting on your wall.

• Please email your reference images to: arianerkamps@gmail.com
