japanese housewares at moma

the moma shop is offering some exclusive, lovely and odd products for their destination japan limited edition shopping adventure, the highlights of which include these fun chat plates and this cute apple jar.

if i had a precocious child (or husband) who wouldn’t eat vegetables i think some persuasive messages might be spelled out in peas on those plates.

see it all right here.

via nobody — i know this is circulating around the blogosphere right now but believe it or not, i found it all by myself!

alicia mordenti pottery

it is so cold and gloomy out the window right now so i am really happy to have found these glossy little 4″ earthenware birdie plates from connecticut artist alicia mordenti.

i think these are too cute to cover up with a sloppy cooking spoon — put them on the wall instead!

see more samplings from alicia at her etsy shop.

hannah morrow ceramics

more striking ceramics from london-born, los angeles based ceramic artist hannah morrow. these pieces are made of bone china. the stickers collection is a tribute to ceramic souvenirs while the unadorned hedy collection simply celebrates purity of form.

those simple shapes are very inviting and would definitely encourage me to linger over a meal…
