Wee Etsy pick of the week
Bird bowl, US$58.
Just look at these deliciously milky-glossy glazes and vintage-inspired pieces at Whitney Smith Pottery’s Etsy shop. At first I noticed the tiny hand-sculpted bird and flower details before discovering wonderful pops of cherry red on a bud vase and the most delicate petal pink on a gorgeously feminine cake stand.
I actually found the San Francisco Bay-based ceramicist’s shop through Sarey Poppins’ Etsy favourites (always a good way to unearth new gems). According to her profile, Whitney is influenced by her “obsession with flowers and other forms in nature” and “tries to emulate the craftsmanship of an earlier time.
You can find all of her wares at her Etsy shop here.
