Do you remember those Royal Doulton and Franklin Mint porcelain figurines that haunted the back pages of the Sunday Supplements? Lovingly crafted costumed beauties with titles like 'Lady Anna Louise' or 'Spirit of Purity'. The fledgling costume sprite inside me so wanted to love them....but I didn't. I think it was their cold dead eyes...
Anyway, if we're talking pottery, remember this Ming vase-inspired wonder? Made by the creator of all things red carpet Roberto Cavalli for his Autumn/Winter 2005 collection, it was famously worn by the Ming vase-shaped clothes horse herself, Victoria Beckham for Elton Johns White Tie & Tiara ball.
Isn't it just the most divine pottery-inspired frock you've ever seen?
With charm, you’ve got to get up close to see it; style slaps you in the face.
John Cooper Clarke, 1985
