Sem Doodle Collection Large Pot by Maya Leroy
Sem Doodle Collection Large Pot by Maya Leroy

Sem Doodle Collection Large Pot by Maya Leroy

By SEM

Located in Brooklyn, NY

This plant pot in colors olive oil and pale pink, exclusive for SEM, has the serial number 2022041. This one, together with the 2022040. Both vases in the collection have been chromatically studied, in a curious contrast of pattern and materials. “Doodle” is a rough drawing made absent-mindedly. And this is how Maya Leroy’s project started, from a need to create without having to be too serious about it or overly think things while having fun. Air dry clay has proven to be an ideal medium to work independently and without firing and, funny enough, from this total freedom, Maya created an intriguing and psychedelic series which looks unlimited. Opening up to new collaborations, SEM became fascinated with this form of hand crafting with the aim of developing two special objects—created ad hoc by Maya for the milanese brand—in an unlimited series produced by the artisans of the brand’s net.One of the most interesting phenomena of the moment is, in fact, the way in which hands-on designers can bring innovations in craft ateliers, challenging and updating the existing techniques and materials, or simply questioning them and creating a real dialogue between craftsman and designer that has unexpected results. MAYA LEROY Born in 1994 to a Swedish mother and French father, Maya Eline Leroy is an artist and designer currently based in Eindhoven — The Netherlands. Expressing creativity through painting, drawing and hand-building clay. Her Doodle series is an ever expanding collection of unique, hand build and hand painted contemporary ceramics.

Antique Spode Shell Shaped Dishes Iron Red & Blue Imari Pattern England c. 1820
Antique Spode Shell Shaped Dishes Iron Red & Blue Imari Pattern England c. 1820

Antique Spode Shell Shaped Dishes Iron Red & Blue Imari Pattern England c. 1820

By Spode

Located in Katonah, NY

This pair of Spode shell-shaped dishes was made in England around 1820 and decorated in the classic iron-red and blue palette associated with Imari decoration. The lively color combination immediately gives the pair decorative authority, while the sculptural shell form adds movement and visual interest. The printed design shows a stylized garden scene with blue rockwork, flowering peonies and chrysanthemums in orange, and bamboo rising behind the flowers. The limited palette of red and blue keeps the composition clear and balanced, with the strong blue elements anchoring the design and the warm orange flowers providing contrast. Spode was one of the most important English pottery manufacturers of the early nineteenth century and played a central role in adapting Asian decorative traditions for the English market. The red and blue color scheme reflects the long influence of Japanese Imari porcelains that began arriving in Europe during the seventeenth century. The molded shell form enhances the design by creating gentle curves that catch the light across the surface, adding dimension to the printed decoration. Dishes of this shape were often used for serving desserts or sweetmeats and were also valued for display. Dimensions: 10 inches long x 8.5 inches wide x 2 inches deep Condition: Excellent Price: $280 for the pair Decoration: Iron red and blue Imari...

Antique, New and Vintage Pottery

Even if you’re (understandably) boastful of your minimalist loft apartment or breezy California coastal-style decor, your space could probably still use some streamlined antique and vintage pottery, which can prove both timeless and on-trend.

Pottery, which sees clay and other ceramic materials fired at high temperatures in order to lend them a durable and robust form, can introduce color and character to your dining room or living room. Pottery includes stoneware, porcelain and earthenware and, depending upon a piece’s origins, can vary considerably in style, form and function from one vessel to another. This makes it easy to find pottery for your interiors or outdoor garden areas, regardless of color scheme or design style.

“Ceramics are definitely seeing a resurgence in the decorating and art worlds,” says the team of Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of interior design firm Consort. The personalization of handmade craftsmanship has served as a sort of anti-Internet to screen-weary decorators.

The rustic appearance of some mid-century-era Mexican pottery, such as a jug or water pitcher, can add earthy charm to your breakfast table while hand-painted antique Japanese pottery, such as a planter for your patio, might be characterized by rich colors and exquisitely detailed landscape scenes.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage pottery with origins in countries all over the world. Our collection includes vases, vessels and other tableware from France, Italy and China as well as contemporary pottery and pieces that date from the 18th century and earlier.
