Luckily she is still producing her work so it’s possible for young collectors like moi to get in the game.  Some of the most well known pieces are from her cat collection and her Nordic Zoo collection.  Her shop has many of these pieces available as does the Japanese website Vivo, Va which also carries some of her vintage work.  And of course ebay is always a great place to find vintage ceramics too.

I’m guessing her desert surroundings influence her use of feathers and llamas on her pieces.  Her designs are so pretty.  See more plates, bowls and cups from Vanessa on her Etsy shop.

Not to mention most of the items are $40 and under.  See more from Kelim Pottery on Etsy.
