A pair of cups that's made to be together. Wheel-thrown porcelain, painted by hand.
On the "A-sides," lines attributed to Sigmund Freud about what makes life worth living:
Work and love, love and work.
On the "B-sides,” two castles, each paired with the phrase it seemed to relate with more. One comes from the background of a 1646 Teniers the Younger painting, ‘A view of Het Sterckshof near Antwerp’. The other from the background of a c. 1500 painting by Giovanni Bellini, ‘The Madonna of the Meadow’.
Lightness for work. And darkness for love.
The cups are sold as a pair. Each cup is approximately 9 cm tall and 8 cm across (11 cm including the handle). Trimmed flat foot and signed underneath.
