One of the most challenging rooms for me to decorate is my kitchen. Let’s face it: some kitchen appliances and accessories are just not that pleasing to the eye. When the space in your cupboards runs out, everything seems to pile up on the countertops. That’s why I love finding items that serves a purpose and are also pretty to look at.
The Utilitarian Ceramic by Ben Fiess perfectly combines function and art. They remind me of the old ceramic jars my grandmother used for sauces and pickled vegetables. Every jar has four components: the container, strainer, lid, and cap—all held together by a rubber band. I can easily see myself using this to store salt and pepper, or even serving soup for guests (wouldn’t that be unexpected?). And when my cupboards are packed with not an inch to spare, there will be no guilt in leaving these beauties on the counter!
