Upcycled

Inspired by a love of vintage ceramics and a desire to be eco-friendly, Melody Rose designer Melanie Roseveare breathes new life into vintage ceramics.

Melanie’s work focusses on marrying the unexpected with the traditional; images that shock and please in equal measure; pretty vintage Victoriana china with tantalising imagery, the juxtaposition of quaint and quirky.

Re-imagined vintage and antique ceramics, each piece has been redesigned and then refired in the kiln at over 850 degrees. These pieces are gorgeous displayed but also entirely functional and can be used every day.

Made in small numbers or as one-off pieces, they are beautiful on their own or mix and match to create a unique table setting.

Please note, we often have pieces in the studio not featured on the website. You can contact melanie@melodyrose.co.uk for current images or requests.
