I most certainly do not need any more ceramics in my household, but if I were in the market for a teapot, I would choose one of these. They are handmade in Japan, and molded from gourds and coconuts to give each piece a unique and natural shape. Lovely.

After many good years, my Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks are finally on their last legs so I’m on the hunt for new speakers. These are a little out of my price range, but they’re gorgeous. Crafted from porcelain, cork, and birchwood, they’re far more sculptural than gadgety.

I’ve been on a bit of a yellow kick lately. Happily, it’s daffodil season, so I’m soaking up all of the color I can while it lasts. But alas, flowers fade, so when I spied this lovely painted vase, I added it to my list of sunny objects to covet.

Heath Ceramics has teamed up with type foundry House Industries to release a series of clay number tiles in classic mid-century fonts. I only wish I lived on the first block of my street, rather than the 1700th, because four of these beauties are going to break a leg off my piggy bank.

These aren’t your grandma’s ceramic vases. Unless your granny is a badass who appreciates the awesomeness of a handmade stoneware Monster Truck.
