Ao – Tea Cans

 

AO is the old Japanese name for a colour spectrum from green to blue – the colour of distant mountains. Inspired by the Japanese “Way of Tea, this five-part series of mouth-blown tea caddies was created. The flowing surface structure invites a conscious haptic examination of the object. The heavy, sand-cast bronze lid ages and is, by nature, imperfect. Symbols of movement and change with simultaneous inner peace. The essence of drinking tea.
