Ceramics by Peter Battaglene

These ceramics by Peter Battaglene are both beautiful and functional. I love the geometric patterns on these pieces (particularly the vases in the last pic). You can see more of Peter's work here.

The question is, would you actually use these gorgeous pieces, or would you only have them on display as artwork?

All images are from Handmark Gallery. This Tasmanian gallery represents many very talented artists and you can view many inspirational art works on their site.

Late next month I'm heading off to Tasmania for the weekend and I hope that I can see these beautiful ceramics first hand (and perhaps purchase one if I save my pennies).
