Cup Art

A cup made to be held and to bring a bit of art to your coffee moment! This is one of my favorites. She has come to life in my garden, on a nice summer day. With Olaf sleeping in the grass.
 
This cup is handpinched, with a carved out foot and is made from stoneware clay. She is painted by Olaf with black underglaze. On the inside she carries a glossy (and food-safe) glaze and on the outside a matte (and food-safe) glaze. 
 
I think that the power of these brushstrokes are that they carry a sense of freedom, free of perfectionism. I am deeply inspired and also intrigued by Olaf, that he can create these lines that I have practised so long to create - without succes. Abstract art is a slippery and often mis-understood field of art. But I feel.. that with this collection I'm hitting the spot. And that feels  awesome.
 
Only one available and very one of a kind. This item likes being washed by hand, but dishwasher is ok too. Small imperfections are part of the crooked garden aesthetic.
