Glazed Porcelain and Stoneware, Screenprinted T-Shirt
June 2


This project is inspired by the famous fictional tabby cat, the Cheshire Cat, who appears in Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Specifically, it draws inspiration from the expression Grin like a Cheshire Cat.

There are numerous theories about the origin of this phrase in English history. One possible origin, favored by the people of Cheshire, a county in England known for its many dairy farms, is that the cats grin because of the abundance of milk and cream. This image of a smiling cat is at the heart of our project.

We have created a series of porcelain and stoneware figurines, as well as a collection of screen-printed t-shirt, based on this expression. These cat figurines come in various shapes and colors, but their distinctive and mischievous grin is always present and etched into the ceramics.

Known for its mischievous grin, this cat has become a symbol of mystery and enigma. Although often associated with the Alice universe, the image of the grinning Cheshire Cat existed long before the 1865 book.
This character transcends literature and has become entrenched in popular culture, appearing in various forms of media, from political cartoons to television, as well as in cross-disciplinary studies, from business to science. A distinctive feature of the Cheshire Cat, as described by Carroll, is its ability to gradually disappear, often leaving its smile as the last visible trace.

Drawing inspiration from this iconic figure, we sought to capture and immortalize this enigmatic grin in our ceramic creations and clothing designs. Each piece in our collection aims to reflect the magic and mystery of the Cheshire Cat while celebrating the tradition of craftsmanship and design.
