These porcelain dinnerware and jars are made by Alyssa Ettinger, who has been making pottery since she was 14. Priced from $25, alongside the normal products, are a selection of sample and 'seconds' (meaning that they weren't perfect enough to be a 'first' sold in her actual store) vases, bowls, cups - and even lanterns - from her collection are available for half their normal price on Etsy.
This Aran Cable Knitware Vase (above on the left) is normally priced at $120, but is on Etsy for half that, at only $60. I love the plaited detailing, which makes it a lot more interesting then if it were just white, and it would make a great present - maybe a wedding present for a minimalistic couple you might know, for a twist on the usual dinner service gift?
Even better, if you live in New York, Alyssa offers Handbuilding classes and workshops where you can learn how to make these yourself!
