Cups and Bowls.
September 22, 2010
The simplest form can sometimes be the most beautiful.
Many Japanese artists can wonderfully combine smooth flowing lines
with minimum distraction to the eye.
Analogue Life based in Nagoya, Japan, prove time and again
that the creation of simple objects works best when shape and function
are in harmony with one another.
They have many more hand crafted products on their website here.
Another company who have a flair for the clean line is UK based James and Tilla Waters.
The partners have been working from their own studio in Carmarthenshire, Wales since 2002
and their collaboration has evolved so that James does all of the throwing,
whilst Tilla concentrates on the decoration. Beautiful work.

Ooo I can just imagine how lovely a cup of tea would feel in the wooden mugs. I particularly like James n Tilla’s tall vases, especially how the rings of the variation in tone are exploited.
They’re great aren’t they, I want one of those wooden cups too, they look so warm to the touch. J has one of James n Tilla’s vases (second pic from the bottom). It’s lovely with the sun on it, almost seems to change colour in different lights.
