Creating design by hand gets expensive; creating design by hand in L.A., even more so. But today we have some budget-minded offerings from Los Angeles artist Bianca Pulitzer, whose ceramics are the latest installment of our Handmade Holidays gift guide.

Pulitzer’s Bone napkin rings -- glazed stoneware pieces stamped with expressions related to appetite, from “starved” to “sated” -- are just $5 apiece. Beautifully simple Textured napkin rings made of hand-carved white porcelain are just $10 each.

This season, Pulitzer said, she’s seeing a lot of interest in her stenciled vases, 4.75-inch-tall pieces that use letters, numbers or punctuation as abstract designs. They come with white, teal or yellow glazing on a black clay body. Price: $40 each.
