Creative designer Chris Earl's line of dishware offers an abstract aesthetic to every day [cups, bowls and glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware) with an avant-garde splattered dye appearance. The unconventional look is captured using bright blue indigo dye along white ceramic. The dynamic and improvisational finish of the dye offers a unique look to each individual piece in the set.

The set features a collection of [plates, bowls and tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epin-rere) with a simplistic ceramic shape and design. To add a bit of dynamic color to the dishes, Earl splashes the pieces with bold blue paint in a haphazard manner that might remind some of Jackson Pollock's painting style.

These dishes offer a hybrid between [functional cookware and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gathered-collection) that can be set on display in the kitchen when not in use.
