Steuben Spiney Caviar

First to recommend

Description

This delightfully whimsical set, made entirely by hand, takes the form of a sea urchin, and each exquisit example is unique. The fludity and beauty of the glass highlights the delicacy of glistening caviar beads. No hardware is needed since the glass "spines" serve as feet for the ice bowl and help to anchor the smaller caviar bowl in the ice. This versatile pair of bowls may also be used as charming serving pieces or decorative accents. Jeff Zimmerman, 2007.

Nadia Teacup

First to recommend

Description

This teacup is part of a series hand drawn by Buenos Aires artist Irana Douer. Please 'Take a closer look' to see other styles.

Much of Irana's work revolves around the subject of the thoughts and feelings of women, particularly the broken hearted, whose circumstances cause them to hide from the world by shielding their faces with their hair or by simply shutting their eyes.

Though their grief is strong, Irana likes to think of her subjects as having the spirit and will to keep going and never lose hope.

This teacup, signed by the artist, makes a thoughtful and expressive gift to the strong woman in your life.

Reflection Dinnerware

First to recommend

Description

Dinnerware based on a haiku. How cool is that?

Against far off snow mountains
Two crows are flying.

Within this simple haiku by Murakami Kijo, one can see the inspiration behind the life and work of Ikuzi Teraki and Jeanne Bisson, the artists behind Romulus Craft. Renowned for their exquisite handcrafted porcelain pottery, Bisson and Teraki combine their lifelong association with Japanese ceramics with a powerful connection to nature. Whether thrown, slab-built or hand-formed, each piece reflects the artist and a precise attention to detail. The fragile beauty of nature is represented in this marvelous line of dinnerware, with soft colors and asymmetrical shapes melding harmoniously with the hard-edge glazed stripe that makes up the Reflection pattern.
