The Michael Weems Collection

Art and Home Let us welcome you to a new collection of porcelain dishes unlike any you have seen before. by American artists. It was an instant success.

Each porcelain piece is individually designed and crafted by Michael Weems and Rigo Maldonado in Palm Springs, California, U.S.A. All tabletop pieces are specially fired in a kiln, rendering them food and dishwasher safe. Beyond the beauty of the artwork that we have created on the pieces, we believe it is important to also appreciate that they are made in the U.S.A. Very few tabletop collections

are made in the U.S.A. in our current times, as most work is now sent overseas. Michael Weems partnered with Rigo Maldonado on this collection and launched it in their gallery in Palm Springs, California in the fall of 2011. Many retailers vacationing in Palm Springs visited the gallery, and they wanted to carry the collection in their own retail stores throughout the nation. This continued interest in the collection has brought this catalog to fruition. We want to bring a collection of porcelain dishes to the table that are not only brought out for special dining events or parties, but pieces that can also gracefully function for daily use. Additionally, we have created the collection so that it can be grouped together into a thematic collection and displayed on the wall as art. Ten years ago, when Michael Weems first introduced a new trend in tabletop with his etched glass collections, it took the world by storm. Now Michael and Rigo are doing it again…

Best,
Michael Weems and Rigo Maldonado

Happy Saturday! Off to the Galleries this morning and happy to share a wonderful new beautiful collection of hand made glass works made in Palm Springs. I never have anyone else’s work in my main Gallery except my own and this new artist is fantastic. She is very talented! I’m so honored to support her on her artist journey.

These pieces are thick and substantial at 15” square and one 15” x 8.5” rectangle. Each a one of a kind original. I encourage you to please stop by and see. The photos don’t do them justice. Thank you.

Our Story

“Let me welcome you to a collection of unique art, metallic photographs, repurposed vintage American cars, porcelain dishes and irreverent coasters unlike any you have seen before. Each porcelain piece is individually designed and crafted by me in Palm Springs, California, U.S.A. All tabletop pieces are specially fired in a kiln. Beyond the style of the artwork that I have created on the pieces, I believe it is important to also appreciate that they are made in the U.S.A. by an American artist. Very few tabletop collections are made in the U.S.A. in our current times, as most work is now sent overseas.” Michael Weems opened his gallery in 2007 to the delight of locals and tourists from around the world who have become friends and family over the years. Michael’s constantly changing and evolving works have been featured in numerous magazines, he designed awards for the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, has works featured on HGTV’s Desert Flippers, and won Best of the Best in the Coachella Valley 2018 by Palm Springs Life Magazine. Twenty years ago, Michael Weems first introduced a new trend in tabletop with his etched glass collections and it took the world by storm. Now Michael is doing it again… Best, Michael Weems
