I was strolling through Facebook and some fascinating contemporary blue and white pieces caught my eye! Enough so that I clicked through to the website and browsed around until I found the pieces featured at Pagoda Red.
First up, blue and white bottles modeled on Coke bottles by artist Taikkun Li.
This pair of lucite chairs has each joint hand painted in blue and white porcelain in the Ming Pattern. By July Zhou.
You can get a better look at the joints here from a detail on a table.
How about this piece from a recent exhibit at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston?
This contemporary necklace out of blue and white china discs was also featured.
Paul Scott takes a piece of Spode, copies it almost exactly, and a new piece emerges.
This is a piece Scott salvaged from the shuttered Spode works’ kiln.
Wedgwood and Royal Copenhagen have produced contemporary versions of their classic pieces. I remember seeing “After Willow” for the first time when I was living in London. I had to buy one piece, even though I didn’t even have a flat yet! They took elements of the original design and expanded them to fill the piece.
Most of Wedgwood’s pieces like this were done by ceramicist Robert Dawson.
Regardless of how contemporary the pieces are, they’ve still got a classic look to them!
