"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her

Possible Addition to
The Sparta Teapot
Museum Collection








Featured in today’s New York Times Style magazine, the Rufus Willis Collection of coffee/teacups for Illy.








From the Illy webpage:

“Rufus Willis brings a contemporary interpretation to the traditional designs used to decorate porcelain English tea and coffee sets. In place of idyllic landscapes, Willis portrays modern urban reality and the blight caused by pollution, traffic and wars.”
