Above is a remarkable example of the 2009 generation of Pierres Graphiques created by Yoran Morvant. At the monumental dimensions of 7 x 4 x 4 inches, this piece is breathtakingly gorgeous.
Ashes & Milk is so excited to introduce the 2009 collection of Pierres Graphiques. The new pattern is designed to fit a -{ considerably larger stone }- ranging from 4-7 inches in length.
Not surprisingly Yoran is an architectural draftsman by trade. One can easily see how his landscape drawings are a source of inspiration for the Pierres Graphiques.

I was so exhilarated when Elaine Matsushita, editor of the Chicago Tribune’s House & Homes section contacted me about Ashes & Milk. She wanted to include Ashes & Milk in a special products feature involving birds. Above is the article in the Sunday newspaper called “Finds of a Feather.” Showcased is the Needle Nose Bird from Helen Beard’s Porcelain Cup Collection.

Ashes & Milk’s current featured artist is French ceramicist Claire Redor, who created the above birds especially for Ashes & Milk as part of the Oiseaux de la France Collection. Each piece is sculpted from clay and finished in the soft earthy hues of bleu, crème, cocoa, kaki, sage and gris. Available in petite or grande.
