Margaret and Josh Smith of Dovetail Studio produce some of the most fresh, simple and quirky ceramics on the market. I love their unexpected designs, ranging from sketches of “neighborhood” buildings, to my favorite, a flying skull mug ($28).
Each piece has an organic quality to it, the edges are slightly imperfect, and you can see and feel that every one was crafted by hand.
The Toaster Doves, which contain a hidden rattle in the base($20/ea), make perfect gifts for brides-to-be (after all, it is almost wedding season). Or you can combine several different plate designs ($20-$30) for a whimsical outdoor table setting.
Browse their online shop, or see if the duo’s pieces are carried at a shop near you. I know you are going to love them!
