Sea Urchin Bone China from Tiffany & Co.

Old school bone china with a sea urchin twist. Fancy yet casual, heavy in form yet light in style, we can imagine these working in the right setting. Are we on to something or does this line read too beach theme-y?

The salt-and-pepper shakers are weird. I love the vase though. By itself it would be great--used with any other pieces would probably be overkill though.

Didn't Anthropologie do this 3 years ago?

Beautiful! Reminds me a lot of Anthropologie's Reef Collection, and for a fraction of the cost at Tiffany's:

I like it, especially the tea pot (not so much the salt and pepper shakers), but it isn't groundbreaking. Anthropologie and a bunch of other places did this several years ago, it was a mini-fad. I mean, I have a great vase just like this that I bought in Walmart 18 months ago! Doesn't need to be groundbreaking to be nice though, and it's nice.

Well, the Tiffany stuff isn't new, either -- I got the urchin vase (which is gorgeous, btw) as a wedding gift probably a year and a half ago, and it wasn't new then.

But I love it -- perfect organic/modern.

I've not seen these before and find them very appealing.
I love modern pieces that reference the raw natural...
