i’ve been dying for brooklyn-based artist alyssa ettinger to release a new series of work so i was thrilled to hear about her gorgeous new ‘milk’ collection. these porcelain replica milk bottles are hand-cast from antique half-pint glass milk bottles and stand about four inches tall. dishwasher safe and perfect for spring flowers, a limited amount are left at alyssa’s etsy shop right here for $25 each. enjoy!

Those are stunning! I love the font in the middle one….
Those are right up my ally and such an affordable price:) Thanks so much for posting about this so I can make a purchase!
Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for posting this… I am in love! I have teeny weeny milk bottles as decoration and I have always wanted larger versions for my flowers. Hallelujah!!!!!
Oh…So…Cute! Very nostalgic. I can remember finding an old glass milk bottle on a nature walk…These look so similar.
these are beautiful!
Simple and beautiful! Alyssa’s work is lovely!
i saw these in real life at the brooklyn flea and they were terribly cute!!!
Wow, that sounds incredibly affordable to me. She’s going to sell out of those in a snap!
I’ve always been a big fan of antique glass with formed typography, but they can be hard to come by. These add a nice modernity to that idea. btw – all of Alyssa Ettinger’s work is amazing; nice explorations of texture on porcelain.
I’m a sucker for antique glass bottles with formed typography, so naturally I love these. The white on white gets me every time as well. All of Allyssa Ettinger’s work is amazing. Nice find.
those remind of bottles my grandma had in her windows. i love them!
Fabulous Alyssa! Even the color is beautifully “milky”
Alyssa is ingenious! We used to get milk this way when we lived in Wales- I will have to pick me up a pair!
thanks everyone, your compliments mean so much!
i wanted anyone who’s looking for sold out bottles to get this link: http://www.alyssaettinger.com/work_milkannouncement.htm
off to work!
So funny…I saw the milk bottles on the DS site so I went and bought two…Later in the day I had to do my occassional peek at 3 potato 4 and I am in lust of those milk bottles with the numbers on them..I’m just debating between 8oz and 32oz….LOVE ‘EM. There is a local farm that uses the same bottles for their yummy yogurt so if you live in the Chicago area look for traders point creamery – it’s the yummiest and you’ll have fun bottles for your next DIY project. Lastly, credit due to artist Beth Mueller- as far as I can tell she started using this lovely milk glass shape for her vases adorned with the sweetest words and images many years ago. http://www.bethmueller.com/
