Porcelain artists seem to have a passion for turning their ideas into intricate pieces of work, whether through painting Chinese pottery or crafting innovative sculptures. There's a Seattle-based home decor company called Pure Home that offers a lot of interesting porcelain home decor (Their site is purehome.com). My favorite is from their imm Living selection. They've got some pretty amazing accents for the room that are both contemporary and eclectic. As someone who has been searching for modern home decor, I think that porcelain decor can be a really exciting addition!Melissa F.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-81386762645078819832014-06-26T19:36:07.198-04:002014-06-26T19:36:07.198-04:00A wonderful porcelain room here in America is loca...A wonderful porcelain room here in America is located in the Seattle Art Museum. Do plan a visit to see it. The collection started in the 1930s, but the room is located in the newer downtown museum. It is truly stunning. Thank you for the interesting posts. I, too, wish more people appreciated porcelain.

I just...Apropos this porcelain fixation and FYI - <br /><br />I just recently discovered mid-century German all-white porcelain vases. Saw them in an antiques mall and, with all the varied shapes, sizes and textures, both glazed and bisque and displayed in a mass, they were quite impressive. I checked them out on E-Bay and Etsy, and some are very elegant indeed, and are extremely well-priced to boot... Input "op art vase" and "German mid-century white vase" in your search to get a whole raft of choices. One can also input factory names along with the mid-century tag, like Meissen, Kaiser, Scherzer, etc. The peak era for these vases seems to have been the 70's, though many date earlier and some models may still be in production. Quality seems very high, which is understandable as the German porcelain factories had finally gotten back on their feet after the vicissitudes of WWII, with new designs married to ancient craftsmanship.
