Take black clay and shape it into scalloped plates and bowls. Make deep impressions of artful lace into the edges of the pieces. Glaze in soft, hazy blue and fire.
Oh, and make it dishwasher safe, too. Whaddya think?
When we first bought the Cape house, I bought a set of Juliska Berry and Thread in Whitewash with some ice blue accent pieces, and this set of Merletto Aqua and figured I was done. Covered for every occasion, formal or casual.
If I were not entirely insane, I could indeed have stopped there. The pieces really do cover every eventuality. And I’ve never tired of either pattern.
Peaches are in season and formed a simple, edible centrepiece for this understated table.
I added some colourful floral napkins from Amazon (discontinued) that picked up the peaches, blues and browns.
Amber Depression glasses lent a touch of delicate elegance and echoed the lace pattern on the bowls and plates.
Horn open salts from Ballard Design continued the colour scheme and natural materials theme.
Sometimes less is more.
I’m sharing this post with Between Naps on the Porch.
The intricacy of the “lace” on this pattern has long intrigued and delighted me. The aqua color just adds to the beauty! Amazing what clay can morph into with a little help!
The pattern in white is also gorgeous, Alycia. They did a great job with this one!
Antique Lace–lovely peaceful colour. Georgia peaches are about the only good thing about the South in summer. Oh, and Vidalia onions. But not together. We seem to have a spoon shortage…lol.
Peaches are marvellous when they’re good and horrible, stringy dry things when they’re bad. Like the little girl with the curl. And yes, spoons lacking!
I’ve been peeling fresh peaches daily…the best part of summer as far as I’m concerned. The Juliska never fails to please, and the Merletta Aqua is lovely. Thanks for inviting us for a peek. Cherry Kay
I’m with you on peaches being the best part of summer, CherryKay. Freshly chopped on yoghurt, in cobblers, pies or just for munching. At their peak, they’re sensational. Thanks for joining in.
