The next time I show up at a friend’s holiday gathering with a delightful, home-baked pie…wait, let me start again.

The next time I show up at a friend’s holiday gathering with a delightful pie procured from the fabulous local bakery, I will not do so with some ordinary disposable pie tin. Not when these brilliant alternatives from Brooklyn artist Lorena Barrezueta are at our disposal.

Lorena takes the classic disposable stuff you’re familiar with, from pie plates to paper cups to take-out sushi containers and reimagines them as beautiful porcelain serving pieces.  They’re vibrantly colored, beautifully glazed, and unlike their inspiration, you’d be a nut to even consider using them just once.

There are also a limited number of beautiful stars and Christmas tree dishes with gold rims which would make amazing gifts, if only you can bear to part with them. –Liz
