Two Iced Doughnuts by Anna Barlow

Sweet Pistachio & Strawberry Doughnuts Porcelain Sculpture. 

Turn everyday indulgence into collectible art with the Sweet
Pistachio & Strawberry Doughnuts porcelain sculpture by British ceramic artist Anna Barlow. Playful yet refined, this contemporary ceramic artwork reimagines familiar forms as bold, conversation-starting design pieces.

Handcrafted at real-life scale, the doughnuts are made from fine Parian porcelain and glaze, and meticulously detailed with flowing sugar icing, delicate meringues, chocolate drops, and crushed
nuts. Using a trompe l’oeil technique, the artist creates a striking illusion of texture and movement—balancing humour, elegance, and craftsmanship in equal measure.

This porcelain sculpture brings joy and personality to dining
tables, shelves, and art-forward interiors, making it a standout addition to contemporary, eclectic, or collector-focused spaces.

Anna Barlow is a British artist - ceramicist born in Bristol and currently living and working in London. She holds a BA (Hons) in Ceramics from Bath Spa University College and has exhibited her work in galleries internationally.

Her practice is rooted in a fascination with the way we eat food and the rituals that surround celebration, indulgence, and shared experience. She is particularly drawn to how food can quietly tell stories of people, place, and fleeting moments — a full stand of ice creams might suggest a hot summer’s day, communal joy, or treats mysteriously abandoned. These subtle narratives, often overlooked, form the starting point for her work.

Ice cream has become a central focus within her practice due to its transitory nature. Melting, oozing, and collapsing, it embodies a brief
yet memorable experience that many people instantly recognise. Through clay, porcelain, and glaze, Barlow captures these temporary states and freezes them in time, transforming ephemerality into permanence. Her work aims to evoke memories of taste and sensation, while also prompting fantasies of indulgence and desire.

Material exploration sits at the heart of her process. Inspired first by the inherent qualities of clay and glaze, she combines surface, texture, and form to create a sense of “visual edibility,” leaving the
imagined taste of the work open to the viewer. Following an initial year of focused research into glaze, materials, and texture, she continues to explore new ways of capturing the fleeting beauty and transitory nature of food.
