Monterey County Weekly, 08/27/19
Lilify invites you to explore our first signature ceramic collection created in collaboration with Alex Marshall Studios, RITUAL: gloss black and matte white handcrafted drinking vessels.
The Lilify x Alex Marshall RITUAL collection is in homage to our habitual mini moments – turning our day-to-day routines into a rite. Waking up to bright espresso, stopping mid-morning for a spot of tea, returning home after a hectic day to a bracing cocktail, sitting down with a beloved book and a soothing chalice of cabernet - the familiar and frequent traditions that allow each of us to brake and to just be.
Alex Marshall Studios is based out of Chico, California. Alex is the artist and her husband, Andrew, is the business manager. The team creates ceramics that are conceptual and connecting, organic yet modern, stunning as well as utilitarian.
We love watching people fall in love with Alex’s work, just like we did. Visit us and view these beautiful pieces in person at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
