The Porcelain Pistols project, by Yvonne Lee Schultz will make you think twice about your tableware.
The guns used are replicas of the famous James Bond PPK. Each is lovingly hand-painted in the style of classic china. It really does make you look twice. They would blend perfectly into your grandmother’s tea room.
I actually think these are quite beautiful, but I am not quite sure if it is wrong to be thinking that about a gun. The way they look really makes me want to pick them up and play with them which again I guess is not great.
So in summary: ethically dodgy but they look amazing and I want them all.
Here are some more porcelain guns, followed by a giant collection of pretty guns:
