When looked at but not held this cup billows away from the handle. In the hand the cup is round inside, with a flat part for the cup to lay back on the thumb. The Saucer has a little blue and white drawing on it. The bodies of the cup and saucer are marbleized brown and white, with some pencil drawing. Kind of dainty. Porcelain by Johanna Jackson, 3 ¼ tall, 5 ¼ wide together.

A cup, maybe for coffee. Canted into the form of an egg, with a flower swimming up from the inside and another flower hung with a wet spider web, and yet another flower — presenting as three in one and yellow.
One of a kind. 4¾" tall, 5" wide, 3" deep.
Two rough hewn expressive cups and saucers, one is an espresso cup and one an americano cup or perhaps the bigger one is the cup for the person who drinks four shots at once, and the other person, with the small cup, doesn’t need so many at once though this person might go back for another. They are both round and grooved with pencil marks outlining their forms, pleasant handled and made with lots of internal colors that kind settle into patches of warm and patches of cool. Large cup is 1 ¾ inch tall by 4 inches at handle and 3 ¼ the other way. The large saucer is 4 ¼ diameter, the small saucer is 3 ½ diameter, is 1 ½ tall, 2 ½ wide and 3 inches wide at the handle.
Porcelain cup, coffee sized cup, with a built up yellow flower, green stemmed and defined by pencil lines. On the other side, two plants in that pushing up from the earth stage that some of them go through. Warmly colored body with bluish handles. 4 ½ inches wide, 7 at the handles and 4 inches tall.

Goldenrod records. What better way for bands that often played on bills together in the SF 90’s to say that they have love for each other than putting out a split single. Designed by O.T.s Buck Bito and Chris Johanson from Tina on Harrison St. and 23rd in The Mission. Time warp it back to barely working and paying almost no rent.
rounded in the front and arched in the back but symmetrical at the rim, this cup is sort of mid century modern but in a future where mcm was really old and easy to confuse with other movements/ ideologies. It’s a little animal of a porcelain cup, and bears an image of a cat and her kittens. 2 ½ inches tall, 4 ½ wide at handle.
