AURORA,
N.Y., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
artisan-driven, American-heritage home décor brand,
MacKenzie-Childs unveils its exclusive MacKenzie-Childs x Pencil
& Paper Co. Ceramic Capsule Collection, designed in
collaboration with Southern lifestyle tastemaker, Gen Sohr, founder
of Pencil & Paper Co. Handmade in Aurora, NY, the new line features whimsical
and cheerful designs that bring joy to entertaining with its
beautiful mix of colors, patterns and silhouettes.
The collection features bold patterns with a brand-new ceramic
hue, expertly designed to pair with the Royal Check collection, alongside unique touches
like playful fluted edges. Designed to inspire entertaining and
spark joy, versatile pieces like the fan-favorite berry bowls,
teacup and plate pairing, the sugar bowl that doubles for honey or
jam, as well as a decorative cake stand and vase, will be the talk
of the tablescape. The assortment's palette of blue, green, teal
and white, seamlessly mixes with MacKenzie-Childs classic pieces,
bringing additional timeless treasures into the home.
"It's exciting to team up with Gen, who shares a love for color,
pattern and all things entertaining! We appreciate her eye for
vintage treasures and timeless pieces that put a smile on your
face. I think this is why our brands are so synergistic – we love
home and bringing personal spaces to life with an eclectic
sensibility," said Rebecca
Proctor, Chief Brand Officer
and Creative Director, MacKenzie-Childs. "Our first-ever
ceramic capsule collection was very well received last year, and
the opportunity to create something new with Gen this year makes so
much sense. We dipped into our own personal history as a pottery to
create a collection that blends beautifully with our fun legacy
patterns."
The ceramic collection features fluted serveware including Berry
Bowls in Dots, Stripes and Diamond patterns for $79 each or $199
for a set of 3, a Serving Platter for $169 and a Cake Stand for $249. The line also includes additional items

this beautifully graphic and colorful ceramic capsule collection,"
said Gen Sohr, founder of Pencil & Paper Co. "My hope is
that these handmade pieces will add a little surprise to your
everyday table and become treasured heirlooms for years to come. I
adore how this collection pairs perfectly with the Royal Check Collection and offers endless
versatility whether you are a longtime brand loyalist or just
starting to build your MacKenzie-Childs collection."
