mug shots 11/05/2009
I realized that I'm a collector of things. Specifically cups and mugs. My collection knowingly began in 2003 when I purchased a highball from the Guggenheim in NYC. It was just a simple clear glass with black outlines of a Calder sculpture drawing. It looked so good when it was filled with milk. Unfortunately, about a year later, there was a tragic dish washing incident, and that glass is no more. It's a little embarrassing to admit but I actually emailed the Guggenheim gift store and asked if they still sold the cup but sadly, it was discontinued. I've posted the picture I sent in the email, yep, that's how much I liked the cup. I generally get a cup or mug somewhere along my travels and they tend to have art or architecture themes, big surprise.  Below I've posted some mugs I found online, and a couple that are familiar to me. I picked these ones based on idea, design, shape, function and interest. CommentsLeave a Reply |
