Tender Garden
You came with spring.
As if this season had gently placed you near us.
Since then, something of you has remained in its light,
in the warm air, in the opening flowers.
And when spring returns,
I always feel as if a part of you returns with it.

The 10 steps of your creation
Each Maison Scott piece is custom-made to your order and goes through several stages before reaching you.
-
Analysis of your pet
We study the photos provided to identify its characteristic features, colors, fur, expression, and peculiarities. -
Design Conception
The portrait and personalized elements are adapted to the ceramic model and integrated into the graphic universe of the chosen collection. -
Hand Modeling
The ceramic piece is individually shaped by hand. -
Natural Drying
The ceramic dries gradually to naturally release its moisture before the first firing. -
First Firing
A first firing solidifies the piece and prepares its surface for decoration. -
Hand Painting
Your pet's portrait and the various decorative elements are hand-painted according to the collection's design. -
Glazing
A layer of enamel is applied to protect the decoration and give the ceramic its final finish. -
Final Firing
The piece is fired again at high temperatures to permanently set the enamel and colors. -
Finishing & Quality Control
Each creation is individually checked: shape, decoration, personalization, and overall quality are controlled before shipping. -
Secure Packaging
The finished piece is carefully protected and packaged to minimize the risk of damage during transport.
From your pet's photo to the finished piece, each creation is individually made and is not the result of industrial mass production.
Manufacturing & Lead times
- Each Maison Scott creation is made specially for your order, then shaped and hand-painted, piece by piece.
- The process involves several steps: preparation of personalization, ceramic molding, hand painting, enameling and high-temperature firing.
- Due to this artisanal process, the estimated total lead time between order and receipt is generally around 4 to 5 weeks. This lead time is indicative and may vary slightly depending on the complexity of the creation, the firing process, and the destination.
- Slight differences in shape, dimensions, color or brushstrokes may naturally appear from one piece to another. They are part of the unique character of a completely handmade object.
Delivery
- We offer international shipping.
- Once your creation is complete, carefully inspected, and packaged, it is entrusted to our carrier. Tracking information will be provided to you after shipment.
- Transit times may vary depending on the destination, customs controls, the carrier, or other circumstances beyond our control.
- As ceramics are fragile, each order is carefully packaged to protect it during transit.
Customization
Your portrait is created from the photos you provide. The Maison Scott artist reinterprets your pet by hand, retaining its most recognizable features: face shape, fur colors, specific markings, and overall expression.
Our style is intentionally illustrated, artistic, and not photorealistic. The final result is therefore not an exact reproduction of the photograph: certain shapes, proportions, colors, or details may be simplified or slightly interpreted depending on the composition and the artist's touch.
Before confirming your order, please carefully check:
- the selected shape and model;
- the number of pets;
- personalized names and texts;
- the uploaded photos;
- the different options chosen;
- your delivery address.
For photos, prefer images that are clear, bright, and without elements obscuring your pet's face, to allow us to correctly identify its main characteristics.
If you choose the Product Preview option, a photo of your finished creation can be sent to you before shipping. This preview occurs after the product is finalized and does not allow for requesting a modification or a new production.
Returns & refunds
- As each Maison Scott creation is customized and made to order, we do not accept returns, exchanges, or refunds for simple changes of mind or errors in the information provided during the order, when the product has been made according to the transmitted and validated elements.
- This notably concerns errors related to photos, names, personalized texts, models, colors, selected options, or other information communicated at the time of order.
- Once customization is confirmed and manufacturing has begun, the order can no longer be modified or canceled.
- This rule does not affect your rights if a product arrives damaged, defective, or not conforming to the order.
Damaged product
If your creation arrives damaged, defective, or not conforming to your order, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt.
Please provide us with:
- your order number;
- clear photos of the product;
- photos clearly showing the damage or problem observed;
- if necessary, photos of the packaging used for delivery.
After verification, if the problem is confirmed and falls under our responsibility or that of the transport, we will arrange for the free manufacturing of a new piece adapted to your situation.
We recommend that you keep the product and its packaging until your request has been processed.
