Spring brings the arrival of beautiful weather, lots of lovely blooms, baby animals to ogle and a whole slew of new episodes of all the television programs that I won’t be watching.

Let’s be honest here. Television sets are unattractive. Yes, especially the flat screen, super bionic ones.  They’re hideous.

Never fear! I have found a delightful bunch of televisions that you can be proud to display in your home.  And these TV sets are commercial free.

Above is a porcelain sculpture by Ava Haney.  I especially like the post-apocalyptic feel of this one.  It reminds me of a something straight out of the video game Fallout.

Ma Jun is a Chinese artist who makes highly decorated porcelain sculptures.  Check out more of his work here.

One of the great qualities of porcelain as a material is its ability to be translucent when thin.  Matt Ozminsky utilizes this with these super cool tv lamps.  I recommend keeping an eye on his etsy shop to snatch one when they become available again.

Jana Walliser’s teacups are another example of a nice use of porcelains translucence.  Lift up one of her cups and see an image in the clay of a woman drinking tea on tv.  Ingenious.

chriscrooks1I love everything about this TV fire pit by Chris Crooks.  I especially appreciate the rabbit ear antenna.
