From cups, saucers, coffee pots and milk jugs to original ceramic jewelry. Such metamorphoses have occurred with ordinary dishes, thanks to the creative influence on it. Eszter Imre, a Hungarian ceramic artist and a big tea and coffee lover, whether it's winter on the calendar or sultry summer. This collection of unusual jewelry is called - Table-wear … The Table-wear collection differs from similar products in that the artist proposes to decorate herself not with whole, albeit miniature, cups, saucers and milk jugs, but with their pieces. So, among ceramic bracelets, pendants, earrings and other accessories, you will find halves and broken handles from cups, pieces of saucers, tops of milk jugs, as well as other fragments of dishes traditional for tea drinking. Instead of decorating the table, they decorate a person, emphasizing his love for unconventional accessories and, of course, coffee or tea.
All elements of the jewelry collection are handcrafted from the elite Herend porcelain, which is the pride of a Hungarian industry with a rich history. The list of Herend porcelain admirers includes the Queen of England and the Russian Tsar Alexander II, the Emperor of Austria and the President of the United States, the Emperor of Mexico and the King of Italy and many other titled personalities. No wonder this material is called Herend "white gold", and its traditional painting in the form of blooming peonies and butterflies, made in the Chinese style, is the most famous Herend pattern, after the English Queen Victoria ordered just such a table service for Windsor Castle.
The artist tells about herself that she was born in the year when Halley's comet came to the closest distance to the Earth, her favorite color is autumn, and she also believes in signs, plays the guitar and some other instruments, loves to dance and smile. The girl draws inspiration not only from tea and coffee - the sun, the smell of rain, smiles of friends and strangers, pleasant conversations and good music - all this also has a positive effect on the artist's work. She is an ambidextrous and dreamer, loves to work with ceramics, stone, paper, polymer clay, metal and wood, and you can learn more about the works of the talented artist on her website.
