Amanda Williams: Matterful Black Lives Tea Set

Amanda Williams Teabox (3)

A tea set comprised of six cups with handles in three sets of designed pairs, one creamer, one sugar dish with a lid and one teapot with one spout and two handles. The exterior of all of the pieces are black, predominantly a matte black and textured surface with some glossy black glaze on the exterior of the teapot; the interiors, in white, black and grey with hints of pink, vary. The cups are smaller than a conventional US coffee mug and their shapes are distinctive because they are not at all symmetrical or upright. They look heavy, like they would feel anchored in the holder’s hand, and like they would tip or move if not set down with utmost attention to each cup’s design. A wooden box, whose lid fully detaches to function as a tray, accompanies the tea set. Both the top and inside of the lid are etched with text.
