Online, November 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - What could be sweeter than languid days spent with loved ones huddled around the family table partaking of all things comfort like food, drink and conversation? Dare it be said that only the dinnerware they're using could increase the enticing humanity of it all. Such would be the case if all attending had use of the latest creations from Joy Newton. Only if the table were set with her porcelain dinnerware line of well appropriated mugs and bowls emblazoned with a choice of either fiddlehead ferns or eggplant vines painted about the rims and sides.
Incorporating not only the intricate beauty found in nature with the use of her detailed paintings of ferns, vegetables, and their vines, the botanical dinnerware's two versions seem to pull at the hem of all things current in design while still being utterly bathed in history's slower pace. Given to generations of family cooks whether it be mothers, aunties, or grandmothers passing along recipes, Newton's designs are intentionally timeless. Struggling to keep the product line completely manufactured on American soil Newton is enamored with the country's pottery belt of Ohio and Upstate New York. She adds, "The history behind this industry is amazing to me. While a story in and of itself, I endeavor to support the factories that still work daily to keep products like mine manufactured here at home." The Joy Newton Mugs and Bowls porcelain botanical dinnerware line is being cast by the same company that brought Fiesta Ware to the masses in the 1930's. "This alone is pretty monumental and I'm so honored." said Newton.
Careful to consider brides to be, new mothers making memories for their families, as well as those welcoming grown children to their table on special occasions the artist has conspired to create safe and healthy heirlooms. She has accomplished her goal. The botanical dinnerware line's glazes are lead free and tested for safety. The artist adds, "I have the joy of knowing that any child that drinks from my mugs are safe. That means the world to me."
