I looked through several different artists and chose some of the pieces that I liked. Out of all of the pieces I looked at, I only selected one par of cups, but I wasn't really looking for cups anyways.
Chris Stanley This piece was “untitled bowl”, these to bowls remind me of finger painting by the lines left on their walls. Not really something I would keep in my kitchen because of how narrow the foot is in comparison to the diameter of the opening. This might not be a problem to most people but I live with clumsiness. Also I'm not really sure of the actual size, but to me they look good enough to drink out of.
Ayumi Horie The gorilla is what was asking me to grab this piece. The fatness of his face is very welcoming along with the thin lines used to draw him. I also like the line of sight coming from the bird’s eye that connects with the head of the gorilla. It kind of makes me wonder if the gorilla did this on purpose as if to tell me I am more important than the bird. What ever the case, thank you gorilla.
This piece is from Tara Wilson under "drinking vessels". The pair was chosen more for the pillows supporting the cups rather than the cups themselves. These would be perfect for drinking sleepy time tea right before going to sleep, or for a picnic by the river.
