The work of local ceramicist Laura Walls Taylor is strongly inspired by nature, with birds, fungi and thorns adorning many of her creations. But while pretty is important, we also need function. Luckily, each of Taylor's pieces are both...

...including retro-looking owls which double as vases and porcelain rose stem swizzle sticks. All items are handmade with food safe, nontoxic glazes in Taylor's San Francisco studio. We're sad to say that the branch sculpture is no longer for sale in the shop (we saw it at the Etsy Mud Team website), but you can go to "request custom item" and perhaps the artist will be able to make something similar for you.
