We've admired Weston, Connecticut–based potter Frances Palmer's work for a while now, but hadn't realized until recently that she has a lower-priced vitreous china line called Frances Palmer Pearl that is cast from her handmade molds by century-old Buffalo Pottery. The line is available at Grdn in Brooklyn, Threshold in San Francisco, and Tabula Tua in Chicago.

Below: Water pitcher; $250 at Threshold.
