Vegetable Ceramics


Last month I visited the Kaffe Fassett Exhibition at the American Museum.  The profusion of colour was ever so slightly overwhelming, and it seemed rather pointless taking pictures of his beautiful work because I have better pictures in books.

This vase caught my eye, though.  It was in one of the display cases to illustrate how inspiration can be drawn from ceramics.  I had never seen a vase decorated with tomatoes before.



Neither had I seen a cauliflower teapot.  Too barmy for words.

  1. Hi Muv
    I love the look of that teapot but I can't shake the feeling that a pot that shape would make the tea taste of veg water.

    1. Same here, Gavin. You'd end up adding cornflour and turning it into gravy.
      Love, Muv

  2. Wow, that's not just a teapot with cauliflowers painted on it...it's a teapot that IS a cauliflower. Original.
