Pen Friend - Sophie the Snail

Meet Sophie the Snail – your slow-and-steady studio sidekick!
Sophie believes that pottery (and life!) is best enjoyed at a thoughtful pace. A hand-building pro, she’s here to remind you to slow down, stay steady, and savor the creative journey—one coil at a time.
 
Our Pen Friends are handmade ceramic pets designed to “happy up” your workspace. They’re perfect for desks, classrooms, and check-in counters—and they make charming gifts for teachers, healthcare heroes, or anyone who owns a pen and could use a little cheer.
 
Each Pen Friend is crafted and kiln-fired to cone 6, making them durable, functional, and uniquely delightful. Designed to sit happily on a flat surface and cradle your favorite pen, they’re ready for rehoming—order yours today and bring a little joy to your day, the snail way! 🐌✨
 
Disclaimer: At Crisanthemum Studios, every piece is handmade just for you. The photos showcase a unique item, but due to the nature of handmade craftsmanship, the piece you receive may vary slightly in shape and how the glaze flows. These differences make each item truly one-of-a-kind—something to be embraced and cherished.
