Shanghai ceramics

17 Jul

I like ceramics. Well, at least not vases or figurines -yet. I like teapots and teacups. They are absolutely adorable! I think the concept of afternoon tea is really darling, so I guess that explains that.

I took a picture of a tea set and mocha set I saw in MoMA:

Understated elegance.

When I was in Shanghai I warned my friend about my fascination with ceramics. Which meant that I would literally stop at each display when we visited the Shanghai Museum. I mean when it comes to ceramics, who would have a better collection than the Chinese, right?

Some really cute teapots:
