All City: Graffiti's Take On Traditional Porcelain

All City has re-interpreted some of the most classical Portuguese porcelain sets and put a graffiti spin on them. They're almost enough to make us want to sit down with some crumpets and call it a day! Details this way...

You can find out details on the gallery ongoings for this show (including a few more pictures) over at Cabracega, or you can check out these markers to try and create a food safe version for yourself. Not worried about eating/drinking off your painted surfaces? Try these and make sure to send us pictures!

I'm not sure if those looked at all attractive before but the graffiti is awful.

Along similar lines [but more attractive, in my opinion] are the NYC Delft plates by Lovegrove & Repucci:

I like #2, but I wish you couldn't see the original flowers on the plates...I see where they tried to incorporate them but I don't think it works.

The Delft plates are definitely cool, but they seem to be more of a satirical note on traditional vs modern housewares. I do like the graffitti on these pieces, I especially like #1. These would look great with some of those sandblasted pieces featured a couple of weeks ago.
