Today something came for me in the mail. All the way from Scotland and the Spiral Tide Pottery studio. Introducing "waveware" cup #10.
It arrived safely, thanks to the great care and attention of the shipper. Who also happens to be the maker.
From every angle it whispers of the sea.
I have been dreaming about this very special cup for awhile. The photo below was torn out of a magazine and pinned to my inspiration board sometime in the last year. It has remained there through several updates... just waiting for a new crop of pottery to become available from Avesha DeWolfe and her studio manager (link to her site below).
You may think this amount of delight about a cup is completely over the top. But it is not. Not to a person who adores the perfect cup.
And, I think you will agree that it seems made for my hands.
From the North Sea where it was made, to the Pacific Ocean and all the beach walks there, to the plains of Kansas. May we have a long and happy time together, cup #10. Avesha your work is even more beautiful than I imagined it would be.

It is good to know that I am not alone in my ongoing love affair with cups/mugs.

The cup is stunning. And I love what the sender wrote on the outside of the shipping box. I can imagine hearing and experiencing warm memories of the sea each time you drink from it. Thanks for sharing.
