The Look of Enamel, All Grown Up in Porcelain

The Marie Antoinetta porcelain bowl, $219 at Greta.  Spotted on Handmade Charlotte.

When I spied these bowls over on Handmade Charlotte, I thought immediately of the Picasso sketches I’d seen last week in New York (the Met and MoMA both have Picaso retrospectives through August):

I also thought of the enamelware we used as kids, both to eat from and bang on, usually out of doors.

These are not enamel; they are hand-painted porcelain, and the designer, Marta Giardini, was inspired by 18th century hairstyles.

I’d love to see the bowl  overflowing with hydrangeas or peonies.  For casual dinners, I’d mix it with La Chamba oven-to-table cookware.

The Marie Antoinetta bowls coordinate with the larger Louis collection pictured below.
