I just stumbled across this artist's (Yvonne Lee Schultz) page and her "Porcelain Pistols." Painted porcelain replicas of Walther PPKs and P99s. Quite strange, but very pretty She also has some chocolate pistols on her page.

What first appears idyllic reveils a metaphorical sense at closer attention. As a part of the tableware, the Porcelain Pistol symbolizes the fragility of life within the everyday routine, luxury and happiness.The piece unites beauty and death in an irritating way: “Et in arcadia ego” – I am in Arcadia, too, death says. The beauty of the material is seductive. As if quite naturally belonging to the set, the fragile weapon is asking to be picked up. The Porcelain Pistol’s coolness and surprisingly comfortable grip increase the qualms of the user. However, the knot in the barrel of the pistol is invisible. It is in the fragility of the material.
