There's something about hot summer nights and backyard dinning that begs for some bright color on the tabletop. If you happen to have some bold accessories from a recent trip to la Mexique, lucky you. If Mexico wasn't on the itinerary (or in the checkbook) this year, it's time to check out Emilia Ceramics.
Emily Brown (Emilia of Emilia Ceramics) is a San Francisco-based advertising-marketer-turned-artisan-ceramic-importer (one of those made-a-dream-come-true gigs) who launched her San Francisco-based company a year ago. She imports hand painted pottery from Mexico, Spain, Italy, and France through relationships she's fostered with local artisans in each region. —Detailed, beautiful, soulful products that support the craft of true artisans. I love it.
Here, read about the ceramic artists behind the products featured below—a collection which Brown refers to as "authentic Mexican flavor with modern sophistication." We couldn't agree more.
"El Verano" tall candle holder and "Fiesta" tall candle holder, $24 each
"Fiesta" jewelry box, $18 each
Votive candle holders, pair for $28
Short candle holders with handles, pair for $36
