When was the last time you played with clay? Elementary school? Ceramic art is one of the oldest art forms around yet is constantly being reinvented by innovative and imaginative artists. We’ve collected ten pieces that show the range of looks that can be created using simple materials thanks to amazing talent, and no doubt many years of practice. As well as being drop dead gorgeous, these modern heirlooms are functional, making them even more worth the splurge. See our picks in the slideshow and share your favorite ceramicist’s work below.
10 Ceramic Pieces We Want in Our Home


Just make sure you coordinate with these faceted ice cream bowls from Bean and Bailey. We also love the hanging planters!

The ethos of BTW Ceramics is Embrace the irregular- perfect for these one of a kind pieces.

Helen Levi creates hand formed pieces that seem entirely organic, like these mugs.


We’d love to have Nicolas Newcomb’s Open Bowl on our kitchen counter holding stone fruit.

Created by Pigeon Toe Ceramics, this bowl’s design also comes as a pendant lamp. We’ll take one of each?

We can just imagine all the little trinkets we’d keep in our tiny bowls by Suite One Studio.
PS- if it all seems sold out, the shop is restocked at 7pm EST on Tuesdays.

And we’re definitely enthusiastic about The Object Enthusiast. (Sorry, we couldn’t resist!)

Young in the Mountains handcarves each piece individually so each is just a little different than the next.
