Oh I adore this lovely line of ceramics. There is a store in Houston that sells it and I visit the display each time I’m there and drool. It looks so frail but they say you can put in a dishwasher, but I wouldn’t. Too expensive for my purse, but I can dream….

PS. Enjoyed the film immensely Corey!

Corey, this is one of my all time favorite stores. I’ve loved them for years. Maybe with the euro being weaker against the dollar, I have a shot at some of their pieces. In particluar I like the medallions and the busts. The feet are pretty cool too.
I wonder if you ever see their pieces show up at the brocantes? They’d be pretty easy to identify. -
I came upon this shop by happenstance. What a lucky find! I love the simplicity of their pieces and the lovely grayish-white color. I love the shop even more after watching the video. I splurged and bought a small bowl but, oh, there were so many delicious pieces I would love to own. Thank you for this post, Corey!

Loved the video, thanks! Great question by Diogenes (love her name too:), do they ever show up at the brocante?

I quite like those delicate spiral cup handles. wonder how long they’d actually stay intact in my home.

Those prices are crazy high.
Where were you photographing these lovelies? -
Agree with the others – it’s love on (not first) sight. Walked with Hero Husband along this lovely shop on a Sunday and luckily it was closed…. (necessity to sell the house for their beauties).
After having viewed the lovely, lovely film (thank you Corey, that’s TOPS….) one understands why their pieces are so dear. We were both, HH and I, mesmerized by the care, love, craftmanship going into every piece of ceramic. And of course, they fraternize with the best of their trade – it’s so beautiful to acknowledge such art and knowledge, love and passion. I really liked the sentence: It’s not practical but it’s beautiful and that’s OK (or similar….). YEAH – and I do NOT think that any of their ‘stuff’ is ever seen on a fleamarket or brocante! That would be like being the sole winner of a state lottery 🙂
MERCI beaucoup Corey -
Loved the video and their very cool website! Thanks for sharing them, Corey.
