America the Beautiful: Porcelain, Protest & Bad Behavior

For the madwomen, the hysterical, the gloriously outspoken, and those who suspect there's fuckery afoot.

Once upon a particularly dismal November, Miss Havisham's Curiosities created America the Beautiful — a collection of fine porcelain teacups and one-of-a-kind vintage art pieces born of frustration, dark humor, and a healthy disregard for good behavior.

A little dissent, gilt and glazed. A protest whispered into a teacup. Because sometimes the most delicious insults are served on fine china.

Beautiful Porcelain. Bad Attitudes.

Hysterical

Dressed in red and gold, this fine porcelain teacup wears the accusation like a badge of honor. For every woman who's been called hysterical simply for having something to say. How terribly inconvenient.

Hell Hath No Fury

A crimson beauty for those who have been advised to calm down, smile politely, or otherwise make themselves more agreeable. As if.

Madwoman

A navy-blue declaration for the eccentric, the outspoken, and the gloriously misunderstood. A little madness looks positively lovely in porcelain.

There's Fuckery Afoot

Our blue-and-silver herald of impending nonsense. For those occasions when something is very clearly amiss, yet everyone insists that everything is perfectly fine.

In Memoriam: One-of-a-Kind Vintage Art

Created for the Female Hysteria exhibition and The Startup Art Faire, our In Memoriam pieces extend the collection into the realm of collectible art.

Antique and vintage porcelain transformed into irreverent, provocative objects, including the Thoughts and Prayers Vase, American Democracy Urn, Democracy Plates, and Seven Deadly Sins demitasse cups and saucers.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, where historical beauty meets contemporary absurdity. Equal parts decorative art, social commentary, and conversation starter.

A Little Beautiful Disobedience

Whether you're shopping for a gloriously difficult woman, a collector of unusual porcelain, or simply someone who appreciates a well-placed insult, America the Beautiful offers fine china with a decidedly sharp tongue.

After all, good manners are lovely. Blind obedience is terribly overrated.

Shop the collection. Drink deeply. Behave accordingly.
