I've tended my first-ever garden this summer—with flowers, ferns, tomatoes and basil galore. And what does one do with too much basil? Make pesto, of course! So, when I found this piece, I was thematically inclined to add it to the LEO Design collection. It was made by Josef Emons & Söhne in Rheinbach, Germany in the 1960's. A dollop of pesto-like glazing drips languorously over a cobalt blue undercolor. It's a strange, unexpected and wonderful combination of color—coupled with an unpretentious, age-old ceramics form.
