The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Back from the home of Delftware I have had the deep blue pigment on the brain… and watching the Antiques Road show last weekend I discovered my love of Wedgewood’s powder blue Jasper Ware. So I’m now on the hunt for large focal pieces – either a large flat painterly Delftware plaque [sooooo expensive] …

or a matt blue Jasper Ware plate with bright white icing-like details.

Coincidentally the ‘Blue’ exhibition is on at the Flow Gallery in London – the show explores the different ways current artists use the colour blue within their practice with particular significance to the textile and ceramic disciplines. These ‘Finest Paperware’ cups by Rebbecca Wilson mirror both of what I’ve been coveting.  Wilson’s delicate replica Jasper Ware and Delft paper cups are all on show at Flow.

Pretty pretty new 2011 collection from Ferm Living inspired by playful geometric Harlequin patterns. I love the pastel hues of the buttering boards...

How gorgeous are these porcelain plates from French illustrator Judith Leviant…

Good morning. It’s so soothing to wake up to these lovely, lovely delicate and earthy ceramics by Christiane Perrochon.

We have an exquisite DIY coming up later from Cat when she teaches us how to create milky pastel vessels using leftover paint, and our usual Illustration Tuesday…

Strange and lovely porcelain vessels from French company Sambaron…
