Oh Honey Bear!

On display at the New York Gift Show in the "Mica" glaze.

One of the pieces in our "Cast Things" line at Lesley Anton, is the ever adorable honey bear. Cast from the bottle she used for her dish soap, we replicate our little friend in porcelain clay. We've surfaced the bears in a metallic "Mica" glaze, making them statuesque, or a flat- black under glaze leaving a quiet, yet strong presence where ever he is. They are available in any of the glazes, so you can choose what kind of bear you'll have.  Initially made to be purely sculptural, he is now available with a hole in the spout, transforming into the sweetest, little single-stem vase. 


Thanks to my mold master friend, Uri, I'm using a rubber casting process to mass produce the bears. They are covered in the first layer of pink rubber! So yummy!

Lesley Anton Handmade Ceramic Lighting launched her NEW Utility line of functional ceramic tableware and accessories at the New York International Gift Fair, this August. It was SOOO fun!  We met a bunch of awesome people and are now back in the studio working away! We will be back in February, as the show is biannual.  Looking forward to it!

While there we had photographer/producer/screenwriter, Dan Dwyer, shoot some work.  Thank you Dwyer! Go to Lesley Anton: Utility  to check out the complete collection of work.
