"Tuscany Tea Service", by Randy Long
1990
Teapot - 8" h x 7.5" w x 4.625 "d
Sterling Silver, marble, wood with gold leaf, 18 kt gold; Smithed and fabricated forms with roller printed texture. Carved and laminated marble.
"Tuscany Teas Service was inspired by an evening stroll in the town of Orvietto, Italy. As I emerged from a narrow street onto the piazza, I was stunned by the drama of the full moon suspended between the stripped marble walls of the cathedral and an enormous cypress tree."
This is rather appropriate as we are off to Tuscany for a family holiday next week!
