Cup sets, saucers and tray by Iling Lai

Title: Unsolved Mystery Sauceboat.

Artist: Yoko Sekino-Bove.

Technique: Wheel thrown and altered.

Material: Mid-range porcelain.

H/W/D: 6”/ 7”/ 7”.

I love this piece; it’s so simple, great looking and wonderful. I check some information online, and know that Yoko chooses birds to be the main idea, because “birds have captivated artists for centuries with their song, flight and color. As spring migration unfolds, this group exhibition will explore the mysterious allure of birds through the hands of sixteen contemporary artists.” It’s a daily routine that we subconsciously participate in everyday life.

Title: Green Curve Cup and Saucer.

Artist: Jeff Campana.

Technique: Assembled/Thrown & Altered/Dissected.

Material: Porcelain.

H/W/D: 4/ 6/ 6.

This piece was hand thrown and trimmed on a potter’s wheel. It’s made the perfect saucer for the curve cup in exactly the right way. The cup is designed with a very comfortable 2 finger handle. Glazed in a two tone green color scheme, and interplay of satin matte and high gloss surface make this set a tactile and visual pleasure to behold. Jeff said “It was then cut into many pieces, the edges smoothed with a sponge, then reassembled to yield the line seen on the inside and out. Made from midrange porcelain, it features bright vibrant colors, high durability, and a reduced environmental impact.”

Title: Yellow Mug Set.

Artist: Vince Pitelka.

Technique: Slab-built.

Material: Stoneware.

H/W/D: 6”/ 6”/ 3.5.

How cute these couple cups, I love it. It’s looks like the people, have head, neck, body, legs and the handle looks like hand. And I like the design of the body, it’s looks old style, but it is good. I love it and let me want to make one of these too, but different style lol.

Title: Small Rectangular Tray: Red.

Artist: Linda Arbuckle.

Technique: Hand built.

Material: Terra Cotta.

H/W/D: 2.5/ 6.2/ 4.2.

This piece is kind of simple and colorful, I like how it looks casual but have it’s own style. This vessel brings art experience into our daily life. Line, color, gesture, and the lure of materiality articulate the value of indulgence, and the transience of plant life.
