normally i love to look at wooden housewares, specifically tables, chairs, bowls, cups, and carved wooden decor, but recently i've been mad about collecting and looking at glass/porcelain cups! and by extension related tableware. think my obsession with cups is actually fueled by my burgeoning tea collection! I LOVE TEA (and coffee. but i only make tea at home for now). anyway here are some of my favourites:
1)
i absolutely love these wooden "disposable" cutlery sets by i don't know who (i literally don't know who these are made by). these costs 5 dollars.
2)
i have been saving up to buy these Naked Girls teacup set for AGES and i finally just bought these today! these are handpainted and i really wanted the teapot as well but im really broke. when you fill it up with tea it looks like the girl is drowning in it. as sadistic as it sounds, i think its the loveliest tea set i've seen in ages!
3)
glass bottles by alessandro zambelli. i keep seeing all these glasswares that mimic the shapes of crushed paper cups, disposable plates, and even paperbag vases, really like these.

the perfect imperfect dinnerplate:
"Inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy of Japan, the Perfect Imperfect collection is an homage to the beauty of the incomplete and the unconventional, the faulty and the flawed. The series subscribes to the belief that things achieve true perfection only in transience and simplicity."
true perfection only in transience????! whatever that means, these are beautiful to look at.

salt and pepper shakers lol

"Jason Miller's Seconds series challenges the rules that surround modern day consumer items. Who says the decoration has to be in the center? Who says a whole bird is better than half a bird? Made through conventional methods of mass production, the decals on Jason Miller's tableware are intentionally applied "incorrectly." "

last but not least i like these antler chandeliers alot, but i think they will look better with orange lights.
think you should go for a pottery class!
