BLOG POST 6 : Coffee or Tea


The Beaker "Monkey Cup" from South Netherlandish in the 1400's has such intricate details! WOW!! I love the silver and black. Fit for a king!! It looks like it could have been used as the goblet in the Bible. From lip to foot, this goblet was fully thought out.

 
 
 
 
Chug!! Dionysus, the God of Wine would have loved the Skyphos deep drinking cup. I love Greek illustrative work that tells a story and the handles. The warm colors are offset nicely by the black background. The foot is very defined.

 
 
 
Bethany Benson should receive an award for literally the coolest set of pitchers and cups ever created by mankind. These are amazing!!! LOVE the subdued values of the colorful hues with the black glazed exterior. Texturally speaking, she created interest by glazing the interior with a high gloss and the exterior with a more matte finish. The shape of the spout on the pitcher is cool and the handles add a beautiful flowyness as well.

Doug Peltzman's Juice Cups from 2011 are super cool. The patterns and textures he added are exquisite. The overall piece is reminiscent of mushrooms to me for some reason and I like the numerous rims on the exterior of the cups.
