Victoria V's Inspirational Images

My plate at Family Meal. I liked the oval and slightly irregular shape without sacrificing functionality. The color appealed to me because it emulated a blue, speckled bird's egg. 

A classic Fiesta pitcher design. My Dad used this type of kitchen ware and so I'm partial to it mostly because of familiarity. Black wouldn't be my first choice, but it is rather pretty as an ornamental piece in this color. If I were to actually want to use it I'd choose a brighter color. I like the circular shape with the redundant circular impressions within the main body.

This shape immediately appealed to me. I think the two different colors is pleasant and offers a nice contrast. The shape reminds me a little of a duck bill, or maybe a flowing sea plant. Either way, it's beautiful. 

I don't think the human-like figure is particularly attractive but what drew me to this piece was the bodies parallel to one another. The erect, solid donkey supporting the relaxed, languid boy-thing. The way they fit together like puzzle pieces is interesting. 

This design made me think of pasta, or mummy wraps made into a beehive shape. I like the light that peeks through the intentional holes and the clean, smooth, PURPOSEFUL edges. 

The shape is important here because it's so simple and allows the texture and color to really pop. I like the gradual color shift between blue to deep orange to light orange and nearly yellow. Orange pops and is one of my favorite shades. The texture is also prominent and can be stucco or even rock-like. It makes me want to feel it. 

This mug reminded me of a cubist painting. I thought it was solid and comforting in it's weight and also the choice of a calm, deep blue. The pattern is very intriguing with overlapping geometric shapes. There is a hint of a texture that peeks out from the inside of the brim which is nice compared to the relatively smooth, glass like texture of the outer body. 

This is rustic and homey looking and I can see making something like this to put on my outside picnic table to provide dusk lighting in a decorate candle holder. It's pretty and the shade of green makes me think of nature and a garden. 

This collection made me think of the wading pool creatures, like sea cucumbers, etc, you'd find at an aquarium. My favorite is the one on the far left and is reminiscent of coral. 

I like the shape of this vase only when combined with the jagged, irregular horizontal lines around it. Without them it would be pretty but boring. They offer an element of just-enough chaos that this piece needs.
