CERAMIC & GLASS PESTLE AND MORTAR

I'm loving the combination of glass and ceramic in these Pestle and Mortar sets by A.J Création verre et céramique. The glass mortar is available in your choice of colour and the white ceramic pestle comes in your choice of textured surface or coloured lines. Perfect for spices, offering excellent friction for very effective grinding. All of their products are hand-crafted in Montreal, Canada and are available at Modern Karibou.

so are the days

after reading d's new guide to san francisco i found these beautiful hour glasses with black or white sand from paxton gate a store in the inner mission area. (small 5.75" - $25; large 9.5" - $30).

issue containers

functional vs dysfunctional. that's the list of products from toronto-based glass designer, sally mccubbin on her site. the issue containers (seen here) are a perfect example of dysfunctional design. as explained for this design on her site, these non functional containers are themed by the dysfunctions of our social container. iconic imagery implies issues like gender roles, war, and monoculturalism.

sally sells in her shop online and out of the harbourfront center glass studio in toronto.
