We live in an increasingly technological, anonymous and homogenous world where the average American spends spend 4 to 6 hours on a computer, including both leisure time and job related work, and almost 3 hours watching television daily. We live in a world where conformity is oftentimes rewarded and original thought or action is frowned upon. When in fact, we live in a world where everything is an original – no human, snowflake, or blade of grass is the same. This should be true of your tableware as well. Enrich your daily experiences with original works of beauty, imbued with the spirit of their makers, and made specifically for you.
