This exotic tea cup tells a story in a whimsical way of the cheetah and the far-away land where it lives. It’s made by Intu-art, an artists co-op in South Africa.
It’s not perfect and it’s not delicate but I’ve loved it since I first saw it. The unique bas-relief elevates a simple tea cup to a work of art.
There were tons of pieces to choose from – cups and saucers, plates, bowls, vases, casserole dishes – basically any dishware you could think of. It was a testament to the artists and their many hours of work to produce so much pottery. I got the cup and saucer but have always wished I had purchased a tea pot to go along with it. I held it in my hand and put it back. It was the teapot that got away! I thought I would be able to find a source on-line once I got home but no such luck. Silly me. My modern American thinking let me down.
What’s your favorite cup?
