What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Octopus Tea Cup Holder for its unique, whimsical design, calling it a delightful conversation piece. The primary appeal is the playful aesthetic, which perfectly balances novelty and function.

Know before you buy
No, this holder is designed specifically for smaller tea cups. It accommodates items with a maximum diameter of 3 inches and a height of 3.25 inches, so standard-sized mugs will not fit.
The piece is crafted from durable cast iron, which is naturally heavy and sturdy. To maintain the finish, we recommend keeping it in a dry area and wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth rather than submerging it in water.
This item is sold individually. Each unit is a single, standalone decorative piece.
The holder measures 8.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep and stands 7.5 inches tall. Given its 3.65-pound weight, it provides a stable footprint for your tea cup.
While designed for tea cups, its unique shape makes it a versatile decorative accent. As long as the item fits within the 3-inch diameter and 3.25-inch height constraints, it can be used to hold small trinkets or other appropriately sized kitchen accessories.
