CERAMICS - bjorn wiingblad / rosendahl

Rosendahl have produced a new range of ceramics the reinterprets the work of the late Bjørn Wiinblad.  The Copenhagen born artist's brightly coloured, detailed designs became very popular in post-war Europe. With a gentle nod to Scandinavian folk art, his romantic, imaginative art is now reinterpreted in this modern, functional range of ceramics fit for a new generation. They've used the artists own drawings for the facial features and added vibrant geometric patterns for the dresses. Perfect for flowers they are designed to add a nostalgic mid century feel to any room. I've seen them for sale on various UK websites including Hus & Hem, Dotmaison and , and head to Rosendahl if you want to see the whole story of this project and the full collection.

VINTAGE - glyn colledge

Our Friday eye candy this week features vintage ceramics. I was walking past a charity shop and saw some very decorative 1950's pottery in the window. The sticker gave the designers name as Glyn Colledge. So I just had to Google it when I got home and here we are, a selection of his designs spotted around the web. I discovered Glyn had studied at the Burslem School of Art before joining Denby Pottery in 1938.

VINTAGE - china store snaps

Just a quick Friday eye candy this week. I spotted some interesting patterns and placements in an antiques arcade. My favourites were these floral and leaf motifs by Wade.
