65 - Peter and Denise Orlando

Peter and Denise Orlando Cup and saucer with abstract decoration Ceramic Circa 1955 Saucer: 19.5 L, 17 W cm; Cup: 11 H, 17 W, 7 D cm. In very good original condition This cup and saucer reflect the attention paid in the 1950s to tableware as a medium for artistic expression. The abstract, free-flowing, and graphic design extends from the saucer to the cup, transforming an ordinary set into a work of art. The size, more generous than that of a standard cup, enhances the decorative quality of the set. A representative piece of postwar studio ceramics, where painting and pottery come together in the gestures of everyday life.
