Broken Things by Livia Martin While I love pottery and the traditional look of my morning tea mug, I have to say these ones from Livia Martin are a unique piece of art. These are sculptures curated at the House of Propellers Gallery in London. The artist, Livia Martin, lives and works in London and earned her MFA in Chile. I love how she incorporated the delicate floral print into the melted-like porttery pieces. Untitled (from the series Broken Things), 2010. Porcelain, resin-plaster, enamel paint, varnish, transfer-print.

The porcelain pieces are a water carafe on the top left and a vinegar flask on the bottom right, their unique look and functionality are just fantastic! The silver spoon is the salt cellar and it's gold plated on the inside, the shape and finish on this is beautiful. Lastly the chair on the bottom left is a simplistic take on a low wooden chair.
