I’d like to officially re-name Emily Counts’ ceramic figurines “The Hip Hummels.”

p.s. Check out Emily’s installation A Battle Lost. It’s sort of amazing.

I completely need a lamp that looks like a lantern but isn’t. Because it’s a lamp.

Did you catch that? ($44)

Lisa Jones is sort of my hero, so when she offered a sneak peek of her new spring line to Design for Mankind readers, I jumped at the chance.

My fave product? These gorgeous ceramic drawer pulls ($24) that are as geometric as they are lovely. Congrats, Lisa!

p.s. Check out the ink blot tote, too — it’s fantastically Rorshach!

All the kings’ horses couldn’t make me laugh harder.

How sweet is this plant cup from Gitta Gschwendtner? Oh, adorable.

Anne Mercedes makes some of the most brilliant ceramic sculptures I’ve seen in quite awhile. I’d love any of these as a paperweight!

What happens when Western aesthetics meet Eastern traditions? CeramiX’s design collection of Chinese and European porcelain.

Oh, I love.

Guess what these things all have in common? Yep, they’re a porcelain take on everyday items. Not necessarily new, but a trend that’s definitely going strong…

…and of course, we can’t forget Xue Lei’s porcelain soda cans!
