Very proud to have my Enameled Cup acquired by the Georgia Museum of Art. Made from Pear.

Mike,

that is amazing, even down to the chipped enamel on the bottom.

If I saw that in a garden shed, I'd expect to see a few dregs of tea in the bottom.

It's one of those pieces that speaks volumes about the maker's powers of perception, every bit as much as the skill involved in its reproduction....and congrats on having it 'hung' at the museum.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Absolutely stunning Mike, it looks so much like the real thing (I used to use them all the time when I was younger and went camping)

Best Rgds
