Karen Dennis, also known as Trixie Delicious, is the artist behind Vandalized Vintage, a shop that features an array of recycled china plates, tea sets and saucers painted with cheeky and profane dysphemisms, many of which are not safe for a family site. Dennis is from Auckland, New Zealand, and celebrities who've bought her controversial china include Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Charlize Theron and Courtney Love.
While Dennis' Vandalized Vintage china may not be for everyone, her method of repurposing china that would otherwise have been thrown away is clever and contemporary.
