Today I’m loving … this beautiful porcelain plates from Etsy shop Zuppa Atelier. The plates will look stunning on a table of course but I can also see them hanging on a wall (grouped together).
Julia, who creates these lovely pieces in her atelier in Brazil: “Each piece is unique, hand drawn and painted, using a combination of techniques of free hand, pen and ink and brushes. It’s a very slow process that requires a lot of patience, dedication and love for what I do.”

Lubna Chowdhary is ceramicist living and working in London. This graduate of the Royal College of Art makes bespoke tiles and utilitarian items by hand. All her work is craft based but with a practical element to it.
Lubna’s work exudes a rare beauty which combines traditional craft techniques with contemporary colour combinations, abstract motifs and graphic line. The strikingly beautiful glazes are blended in her studio, and painted in multiple layers onto tiles of various dimensions and textures. Each tile is then taken through numerous firings, before it is ready to take its place in a meticulously considered composition .
Lubna’s gorgeous designs are available from her online shop. An exclusive selection of tiles designed for Agnes Emery is available in the Emery and Cie shops in Paris, Antwerp and Brussels. A bespoke range of commissioned products is available from Maragret Howell shops worldwide .

Simple, clean, and classic. These are the words that can be used to describe the vintage finds of Julie, the owner of Etsy shop The Old Red Hen. Thrifting, antiquing, and collecting have been part of Julie’s life since she was a young girl.
Her mother, grandmother, aunts & uncles have always filled their homes with timeworn treasures and interesting relics. Julie would never tire of looking at unusual vintage pieces or hearing stories of where they’d come from.
