Jeff,
Try Victor Spinski's work. Victor does realistic hammers, tool boxes, etc. I've even heard Victor tell a story about a garbage can he made that the garbage man thought was real and threw up into the truck because he couldn't get the lid off. The can broke all over the place while Victor was filming,out of sight. I think you'll like his work. Hope it helps.

Jeff,

Try Ah Leon's work also for visuals. "Bridge" is possibly the largest and
finest ceramic trompe l'oiel ever. There are two books, "Beyond Yixing" and
" Reality and Realism" (from the Crocker Museum). I've seen "Reality and
Realism" advertised in CM recently. I can't remember by which supplier,
though. Both have outstanding visuals of "Bridge," his treetrunk teapots,
tofu teapots, and a few Yixing-style teapots as well.

Jeff -
The specific genre of ceramic sculpture you refer to is "ceramic trompe
l'oeil." As you may know, "trompe l'oeil" generally refers to painting that
features a photorealistic shallow-space illusion. In ceramics, it refers to
work that accurately immitates some other object and material. Some of the
artists besides Marilyn Levine who are known for ceramic trompe l'oeil are
Victor Spinsky (I suspect he is the one you refer to - he does boxes of
tools, small machine parts, etc.), David Fuhrman, Marilyn Levine, Richard
Shaw, and Paul Dresang.
