Oceanic Craters Ceramic and Glass Dish by seaurchin @ Etsy.

Whenever you come upon the Simply Gorgeous and Beautiful it is better to just sit back and let the artist do the talking :

One-off ceramic sculpture, this low dish has a pattern of large double craters. The bowl is made of sculptural white clay and has been glazed with a matt ivory stoneware with chocolate brown in the craters. Aqua coloured glass has been melted into some of the craters and the edges have been highlighted with gold lustre. Some of the craters are pierced right through, and some are very thin so you can see the light coming through….this gives an interesting effect with the glass.

The dish is 4.5inches/11.5cm across and 1inch/2.5cm high.

All of my sea urchin and coral ceramic sculptures are individual and experimental, and very personal to me….my true artwork!

This is intended as an object of beauty only….it is not intended for food use.

Carlton by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano

I found this great article called “Memphis design style is back” while doing some research about Ettore Sottsass in early January when I learned he had died. I’m not in a writing mood these days so I guess I’ll just add a selection of photos and links here.
