Greek Amphora |
Pottery and Ceramics when you think about it the Greeks and the Romans left us with some great sculpture, great architecture, incredible glazed mosaic art and fantastic pottery bowls, ceramic wine vessels, truly the legacy of an advanced civilization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery_of_ancient_Greece
Well fear not humanity we have ceramic artist Allison Evans working for us and the beauty of her work will make future civilizations look back at this age with true envy! A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design http://www.risd.edu/ Allison Evans takes the natural form of coastal life and transforms it into dinnerware and tabletop accessories. Custom created glazes adorn each piece forming a cool crystalline topography that makes each piece uniquely magnificent and captivating. Such works of function and beauty are destined for Museums not my dishwasher. Allison's work commands your attention, boasting beauty and function simultaneously. Seriously you will not know if you should hang'm on the wall and display them or use them as food bearing vessels and set them on the table.
