Long legged extravaganza 

Is it possible to drink from them? The extravagant cups of the Czech-Japanese artist couple are highly functional - even if their leaning forms, which almost threaten to topple over, might cast doubt on this. The two produce their asymmetrical, crazy creations in a porcelain casting process and, after the first reduction firing in a gas kiln, use all the possibilities of engobe painting. Typical of their work: Tall corkscrew feet under thin-walled vessels and precious metal overlays.
