The 'Utter' Mouth Pot or Vase by Thelermont Hupton.




These fun tabletop vessels are made of fine earthenware and measure 160mm x 100mm tall. The opening is that of a human mouth, compllte with parted lips and teeth.

In the words of the artist:
"The Utter pots, using the form of a mouth, are a literal manifestation of the concept of objects ‘talking’ to the user.

The finished piece is humorous and edgy. The parted lips of the female mouth may even be construed as sexual. They invite us to ponder what the rest of the ‘face’ might look like.

The Utter mouth pot is designed to be used decoratively or functionally as a vessel for flowers, pencils..."




Price: £39

3D Designer Andrew Beaumont Mixes Ceramics & Woods In His Trapped Vases.




An honours graduate in 3D design from the Univeristy of Plymouth, Andrew Beaumont uses digital technology along with his plaster mold casts to combine unusual materials and create strikingly original pieces. Mixing ceramics, earthenware and bone china with various woods, he has created a collection of 'trapped' vases and figurines unlike anything else you have likely seen before.

Below are many images from his impressive portfolio. I have also included some of his beautiful freehand sketches.

Prouna Jewels, Swarovski Clad Luxury Bone China Dinnerware That Is Dishwasher Safe.




Yesterday on this blog, I shared with you many unusual items that incorporate Swarovski Austrian Crystals into their designs.

One of the companies I mentioned in that post was a luxury tableware company named Prouna. Today, I wanted to give you a better look at their luxury bone china dinnerware and tableware that incorporate the fast-becoming ubiquitous Swarovski Crystals.


above: the Diana place setting is adorned with baguette, round and cabochon amber and clear Swarovski crystals

Prouna is the luxury brand of Hankook Chinaware, a 60-year-old Seoul-based family business that has manufactured bone china for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Royal Doulton for decades.


above: the Chain mugs withcolored or clear crystals and platinum or gold edging.

In 2005, they discovered a way to bond Swarovski crystals to china that are... hard to believe, but dishwasher safe. The Bahadorzadehs, a family of Iranian commodities traders specializing in steel, came across the company’s wares in 2008 and last year began exclusively distributing them in the United States through their showroom in New York.

The Prouna Jewel collection, as the crystal clad china is called, presently features multiple lines of dinnerware, espresso and tea service, most of which can be mixed and matched.

Jupiter:
Platinum squiggles line the edges of the plates that are accented with clear Swarovski crystals


Best Wishes:
Best Wishes combines gold silhouettes of charms like cupid, horseshoe, italian horn and a heart with clear Swarovski Crystals and platinum details.


Princess:
The most expensive ($995), Princess displays a platinum web pattern studded with clear round crystals.


Diana:
The Diana place setting ($885) has amber and clear baguettes, round and cabochon crystals arranged in geometric, modern patterns on 24-karat-gold rims.


Adonis:
The Adonis place setting ($885) has amber and clear baguettes, round and cabochon crystals arranged in geometric, Art Deco-like patterns on 24-karat-gold rims.


Persia:
Persia ($517) is a paisley pattern that has amber and clear baguette, round and cabochon crystals with gold and platinum accents.



Peridot:
A paisley pattern similar to Persia, only with platinum, blue and bronze accents and pale green, amber and clear crystals.

Regency Platinum:
a formal and more conservative pattern that has fine lines and small Swarovski crystals set linearally at the four points of the plates.
