Salt Marsh Wine Cup Liz Proffetty Ceramics Item#WC3

 12 oz Designed to fit nicely in your hand, these wine cups are the prefect choice for red or white wine. Hand thrown porcelain with both satin smooth and glossy artist produced glazes.

This piece invokes images of the grassy salt marshes of Sheepscot Maine. The top half of the piece shines like glass while the bottom is smooth as satin. 

Each one of my pieces reflects the ethereal and evolving scenery of Maine’s natural landscapes. From the vibrant green mosses and pine forests of spring, the hazy fields of wildflowers on the hottest days of midsummer, the salt marshes and seashores at sunset, the red and rocky blueberry fields in autumn, and the sleeping winter worlds laying dormant under blankets of heavy snow. In addition to imagery each piece is created in a manner that enables the user to feel the physical effort and joy put forth in its making. Every object’s surface offers individual texture and form. Through the incised lines of my tools, the sweeping of liquid clay from my brush, and the impressions and folds from the work of my hands, a piece is created that is truly and wholly unique in a way machine manufacturing can never authentically replicate.
