beth mueller, chinaware

museum shops are probably one of my favorite places for discovering little suprises full of creativity. i leave a museum shop amazed thanks to a new detected product again and again.. aren't they just a great place to look for and find wonderful gifts?

these beautiful porcelaine vases by beth mueller are new to me. they come in different sizes and shapes, with either a handwritten idea such as 'friend', 'wonder', 'imagine' or with a simple illustration. sometimes it only takes a single word to start a thought or to evoke a subtle feeling.. these vases are so poetic! mueller also produces plates, bowls, mugs and teapots in the same design.
