Beautiful pieces, and eco-friendly.

she takes old plates form salvation army or garage sales and reworks them into uber chic and all new designs. these aren't your grandmas plates!

You know all those plates you see at garage sales, in thrift shops, in your grandma's 60's kitchen? Well, these are them, reworked. Sarah Cihat comes across these used, rejected plates and reworks them into something you just have to have.

I dig it! Good for Halloween dinner or just to be unique in entertaining!

I love the sweet n' sour combo here. Oh so tender pink spiced up with a bad ass looking skull and cross. The icing on top is the the little nautical anchor.
Shiver me timbers!

Old and overstock dishware—snapped up by the artist from thrift shops, garage sales, and reject piles—is first given a makeover, then reglazed and refired. Repurposing an object is one of the greenest things you can do—nothing new is created, just transformed.

i love her dishware set. the designs feel fresh and modern and up-to-date. some of my favorite are the astronaut, dandy, fleur-de-lis, pinup girl and cassette tape. the concept, called rehabilitation dishware, means that she hunts for used or unwanted pieces which she then reglazes and refires with her own designs. its an excellent example of innovative recycling combined with great design.

These are great for two reasons. First, they are brilliant works of art in the form of dishware. Secondly, they are an exercise in sustainability because they redesign and resurface used or unwanted ceramics to create new awesomely modern pieces.
