The article by Shannon Garson regarding the value of handmade functional tableware was a very interesting read. I completely understood where she was coming from, and found value in her reasons behind why handmade tableware should be used. I was very intrigued by the overall spiritual tone of her writing. She seemed to really incorporate the tangible human experience of life in with a very ethereal view of living. The piece above really illustrated to me what she was talking about. The irregularity, the color, the depth, and the simplicity all revealed to me what Shannon Garson wrote about. Using this tableware to eat would indeed connect the user to the artist, and Shannon spoke about in her article.

My grandmother's fine china was passed down to my mothers oldest sibling, so although we do not have any fancy plates, my family does have these wine glasses and cups. These were given to my parents as a gift on their wedding day. We only use them for major holiday get togethers, such as Christmas or Easter. It is hard to tell from the image, but if you look closely, the base of each class has a large amount of texture and indentation to the base of the glasses. I would someday like to get some fine china for myself to begin passing down in my family.

I this this is such a work of art that anyone on Earth would be proud to see.
