This is one of my earliest wine cups. The glass is thicker and the cup, quite frankly, is a bit 'cruder' than my newer cups, as it is one of the first wine cups I made. I am selling the last of my early cups this week, and decided to sell this early example. Although it is obviously my work and style, it is not representative of my newer work. This cup has a fair amount of tilt, something I have been experimenting with from very early on. To many eyes, accustomed to perfect and straight, this has an odd look, but I use this as a way to accentuate the movement, and up/down motion of the cup's design work. Sometimes the angle works perfectly, sometimes it is not quite enough or a little too much, it is up to you to decide. I will say that it is more fun to drink from and hold. This wine cup measures 3-1/4" high, 2-3/4" diameter at it's widest, and 2-13/16" across the top. As with all my wine cups, the natural punty mark is recessed slightly in the base. The punty mark is a wonderful mark of it's being handmade, an important part of it's creation, the point w it was joined for it's development then separated. Just like belly buttons, and just as most people don't remove their belly buttons, I leave the punty marks. New, Perfect cond. Signed Watson. Perfect for a Special Gift or to keep yourself. These wine cups are so much more interesting read more
