Cardboard or clay? Potter crafts incredible ceramics with a deceptive twist

Meet artisanal potter, Jacques Monneraud (@jacquesmonneraud on Instagram), who fashions mind blowing ceramic products that look like they are made of cardboard.

This unsuspecting jug, while looking like a remarkable piece of art made of cardboard, is waiting to astonish viewers by the fact that it is actually ceramic and totally usable.

If you couldn't believe your eyes, here's proof that these are indeed pieces of exquisite earthenware, made of clay, not cardboard.
