Ukrainian artist Vita (A.K.A. Vitraaze) hand-paints glass in striking hues to look like stained glass. And considering what must go into them, her prices are as fair as her beautiful wares. Her goal is to “spread love, joy, and beauty,” and I would say mission accomplished. I don’t even drink tea, but her teapots make me go all wanty.
“I love the idea that I am not only creating something beautiful but also useful. I hope that my works will be used and loved and bring lots of positive energy and smiles into your lives.”
– Vita
Vita uses non-toxic enamels approved for use with food, then fires the pieces so their designs last as long as possible. They may not be dishwasher safe, but Vita says they’ll hold up to everyday use. And how cheering would it be to wake up to those wonderful colors? Her subjects are mostly taken from nature, with a few striking abstracts thrown in for fun.
You can see all of Vitraaze’s gloriously-colored work on Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy.

I have committed to spending part of every day looking for at least one beautiful thing, and sharing what I find with you lovelies!

Now you are talking. I love these because I can see doing this myself. Love the tea pots.

The teapots are my favorites, too. I love the idea of eating my breakfast with one of these lovelies making colored reflections around my kitchen. So cheerful!

Back in the sixties, we had a family member who hand painted tea cups, saucers and pots. Only on the outside. This is some really good work and I would have any one of them in my house. Hal

That must have been lovely to have someone who did that. Did they give their painted wares as gifts or did they sell them?

I am not sure, I know my grandmother who raised me, had two sets. Each one had different flowers on them. This is what she did: https://www.englishteastore.com/fine-bone-china.html — They were passed on to me, and I think I passed them on to my son. Don’t know if they still have them or not. Hal

Gorgeous stuff! I love how vibrant the colours are. As a big tea drinker, I am most drawn to the teapots and cups and saucers. I cannot decide whether my favourite is the rainbow set or the cherry blossom set.
