London being such a large city of tea-drinkers, I've come across a lot of beautiful china in stores, markets, and restaurants here. I always find myself gravitating towards the teacups and other dishes painted with only deep blue over their brighter, more colorful counterparts. I find the simplicity of the coloring and the intricacy of the design to be a beautiful combination. After spending over three hours roaming around Harrods today, I realized that Dolce and Gabbana shares my love of the style. Here I have included a picture of a beautiful urn painted in the style to compare with their beautiful new clothing collection. The white clothing sport a similar floral design. Some of the clothes are designed in such a way that they look like tiles pieced together, while others are decorated with intricate designs reminiscent of antique teacups. If you look closely at the picture of the entire collection, you can even see the mannequin on the far right has a blue china urn on the front of the dress. According to the Dolce and Gabbana website, the collection is inspired by the Mediterranean majolica ceramics. The blue is intended to transport you to the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean sea. Though the resemblance between the ceramics and the printed fabrics is not subtle, I think Dolce and Gabbana did a wonderful job with their design. The prints do the beauty of the ceramics justice in a unique way. I spotted the design not only in the women's department but also in the accessories, children, and even the baby departments!

This is probably the most expensive onesie I've ever seen, but isn't the print beautiful?
