Clayswan, the Etsy shop of porcelain artist Lyn Swan, immediately caught my eye with its vibrant colors. Swan freely acknowledges that the color ranges of her dishes and vessels are inspired by Fiesta Ware — she says so right in her shop announcement. But it’s the mix of bold colors with organic forms that make the Clayswan pieces so appealing. The “hand built” creamer and sugar set in two shades of orange, for instance, is delightfully free-form but with enough pop for those who just aren’t into more traditional, muted pottery tones. I also like the skewed approach to a matched set of cups that don’t match at all. Even better, the pieces I’ve viewed are all within the $22-35 range. See the Clayswan store here. And if you prefer muted tones? Lyn Swan has a shop of more traditional colors on Etsy, too. –Mary T.
