The name's Bond, James Bond ...

Artist Yvonne Lee Schultz has crafted a series of hand-painted porcelain pistols.



From the artist's description of her project:
The Porcelain Pistols are replicas of James Bond’s Walther PPK and its contemporary sister, the P99,with friendly permission of Carl Walther Inc.The fragile weapon, hand-painted in the style of classic tableware motifs, liesnext to your coffee and cake, asking to be picked up. Its coolness andcomfortable grip increase the qualms of the user, leaving him in a quandary between the pleasure of luxury and violence.

Lovely. And about as dainty as a real mousegun PPK. :)
