Ruth Gurvich Porcelain Teapot

Porcelain Teapot
I am obsessing over Ruth Gurvich’s porcelain teapots, produced by Germany’s historic Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory. Ruth is a contemporary designer who works in paper much like I do when making my small maquettes from drawings to figure out my large-scale sculptures – like I did for the 2012 set I created with Marc Jacobs as the backdrop to his fall collection.

with Porcelain Teapot
Ruth made a series of porcelain bowls, teacups, creamers, and a teapot with the world-famous, 266-year-old Munich-based factory. But the true beauty in the set is that the pieces look and feel exactly like paper; such a modern interpretation of a traditional material like porcelain. They are extraordinarily elegant and quite simple, but the best marriage between great design and the finest craftsmanship. And best of all, the objects are functional as well! They add a lovely to touch to any home and feel like little spindly spines along the edges where the ‘porcelain paper’ folds over a curve.
