The lovely floral patterns of the antique cup and saucer did a beautiful job of expressing the intricacies of taste and aroma found in tea drinkers' favorite blends. The Wavy Tea Set by Patricia Wong conjures the same sensory imagery of fragrance and flavor, but it is executed in a sculptural way rather than an applied one.
Influenced by the practice of glass blowing, the designer modeled her clay crockery to take organic shapes. The exquisite coffee cups seem to unfold like maturing roses to form delicate textures and unusual but effective handgrips. Little plates, elegant milk pourers and lovely vases complete the collection with consistent natural accents. The blossoming Wavy Tea Set by Patricia Wong is further embellished with earthy glazes of slate grey, soil brown and an immaculate ivory.
