When I discovered Natalya Sot’s Mad Hatter Tea Pot — and this is the absolute truth — I literally yelled out loud with delight. And promptly dashed off a mash note to Natalya, asking for permission to share her exciting work with you.
She was good enough to say yes, and to let me to use her photos — so scroll on down the page for a sampling of some of the most wonderfully whimsical ceramics creations you’d ever hope to see…
But first, here’s what you need to know about the artist:
Natalya Sots, a native of Kazakhstan, moved to the United States in 2002 and has been dazzling OOAK fans with her wildly distinctive colourful ceramics at Chicago-area art festivals (and at her online Etsy shop) ever since.
A day-brightener?
Trust me, this could brighten your whole week!
Don’t miss Natalya Sots on Flickr, for more of that wonderful mad imagination and her photos of works-in-progress.

Your blog seems to be so interesting… I’m going to take a look at it… thanks for the add!
Hi Ixela, and welcome! What a coincidence, I just discovered your blog today on BlogCatalog and have bookmarked it – I love the artistans’ works that you show, and it’s great to see you writing them up in both Italian and English so many people can enjoy. Definitiely, I will be visiting often – our world needs all the beauty and whimsy it can get!
I find it a little disheartening that only now, at this late stage of my life, that I find the true value in tea-drinking is in the container. I may abandon coffee altogether.
These are lovely. What a great find.
