Get The Dish!
Oooh, oh!! I was trying to take the day to get new posts going and catch up on many emails and an insanely long to-do list, but I just got this update from Amy Butler and had to share! Amy’s got a beautiful new line of china out with Mikasa and it couldn’t be prettier! Check Amy’s new line of china out here. Okay…back to the long list!! See you tomorrow!

Not Your Grandmother’s China.
I just love this reworked Vandalized Vintage china from etsy shop Trixie Delicious. Irreverent, and a little bit subversive to be sure, but that’s the charm of these! All pieces of Trixie’s reworked and recycled china have clever text or images, hand painted in heat fused ceramic paint and are all are non-toxic, food safe and come with their own little hanger, so you can hang your sassy little plate up asap! For more about Trixie you can check out her blog, her flickr photostream, or just head straight for her etsy shop.

The Look, The Feel of Melamine.
Nobody ever says that. It’s always the cotton. Please don’t overlook Melamine. It’s lovely. I just love these girly-girl silhouettes overprinted on a pastel baroque pattern available at Velocity Art & Design.
And how cute are these pop art ones? They remind of some kind of casserole dish from my suburban childhood. I’m seeing Hamburger Helper.
These fun ones are called Food for Thought. The perfect plate to encourage your switch to the vegetarian team.
So just remember the look, the feel of Melamine.

Rehabilitate The Plate.
Brooklyn-based designer and Parsons School of Design graduate Sarah Cihat recycles dishware. As part of her thesis she took old, forgotten dishes from places like the Goodwill and turned them into fabulous works of art. Unwanted ceramics are given new life as she resurfaces and redesigns them, creating her own unique collection. The dishes are then re-glazed and re-fired. Lovely silhouettes with graphic patterns in amazing, shiny colors. I love her themes, too, from skull & crossbones to dapper gentlemen to moose (what is the plural of ‘moose’?). Too good to eat off of, but you can.
