Bring a little joy to your daily cuppa with the beautiful Come Fly With Me Pīwaiwaka Fantail Cup, celebrating one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most delightful native birds. Featuring a dancing pair of pīwaiwaka (fantails) swooping and spreading their elegant wings, this charming design captures the playful spirit and lively movement of these much-loved little birds, complete with delicate mānuka-inspired details.
Created by Northland-based artist Katy Hayward, this lovely illustration was inspired by her aroha for bushwalks with her little family and the joyful experience of being followed by friendly fantails as they dart and chase her daughter around. It’s a heartfelt celebration of the special connection between people and nature, bringing a little piece of the New Zealand bush into your home.
Crafted from elegant new bone china, this beautiful native bird cup is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, afternoon tea or a peaceful moment in your day. A thoughtful gift for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts and anyone who treasures New Zealand-inspired art, it’s a lovely way to add a touch of Aotearoa charm to your kitchen.
Why We Love It
We love the playful energy of this design and the way it captures the cheeky, curious nature of our beloved pīwaiwaka.

It’s a gorgeous gift for anyone who loves native birds, appreciates local artistry or simply enjoys a little reminder of the beauty right on our doorstep.
