Curious Ceramics

Inspired by Victorian Cabinets of Curiosity, the ceramic dinnerware collection by artist Laura Zindel Lauterbach and her husband features exquisitely hand drawn images of spiders, snakes, ladybugs, butterflies and beetles that adorn everything from serving platters to water pitchers.

Each piece of earthenware is made by hand with non-toxic low fire glazes with images printed in enamael, then individually collaged and fired.

Not for the faint of heart, the drawings of the creepy crawly critters are both delicate and awe-inspiring.  Perfect as a wedding gift for the non-traditional couple who can appreciate its originality and curious charm.  We love the assorted dinner setting including a Spider Dinner Plate ($46), Beetle Salad Plate ($32) and Snake Dessert Plate ($24).  Definitely not your grandma’s china…

Available at Barney’s New York.  For more information, visit Laura Zindel Ceramics.
