Drinking Vessels

| Tara Wilson "Drinking Vessels" |
The artistic flare that encompasses these drinking vessels, can only be described as lovely pieces of art. In such forms as Tara Wilson's Drinking vessels the firing kiln does most of the color work, which is completely random. This technique really gives each cup a unique look and design. What makes them unify with each other is the lovely shape. with the narrow bottom with the over sized lip, enlarging up towards the bulge in the middle, curving in like a lovely waist at the near top then flowing out for the final slight curve. Curves like this almost give the cup a human feeling, by being sultry and curvaceous and soft looking. Tara's cups makes you want to pick them up and hold them. That is why I picked this set from her gallery to share here.

| Linda Arbuckle "4 Seasons" |
The thing that I love about Linda Arbuckle's 4 Seasons, is the flat rim with the tapering base. But my absolute favorite thing about this cup is the handle! I adore the extra little flare out that allows the drinker to relax the rest of their fingers into that little crevice. I've always loved cups that do this and just the fact that its so bright and cheerful makes me want to sit outside in the sunshine with a glass of tea.

| Ayumi Horie "Deer Cup" |
I enjoy the human touch of Ayumi Horie's cups and mugs; that paired with her unique drawing style of animals gives her cup series a lovely antique feeling. I also enjoy the minimalism of color, but still the slight hint of it within the deer's antlers to help bring back interest to the head of the cup. her handle also looks interesting, and i'm curious as to what it would feel like to hold. (and for only 66$ on her website I can!)
