Lipton Tea 1984 20th Century 9 in. x 8 1/2 in. x 2 1/4 in. (22.86 cm x 21.59 cm x 5.72 cm) Jeri Au (Honolulu, Hawaii, 1947 - ) active St. Louis, Missouri Object Type: Teapot Medium and Support: enamel decorated unglazed stoneware Credit Line: Arkansas Arts Center Foundation Collection: Gift from the Diane and Sandy Besser Collection. 1997.021.037 Accession Number: 1997.021.037 Comments: In the mid 1980's Au made a series of "Lipton Tea" pots. She was working with thin slabs of under-fired porcelain- clay so thin that it needed to be supported by paper cloth until it stiffened. This work has the supple qualities of folded cloth and texture of handmade paper. Au may be identified with a number of potters who were intrigued with the concept of building a 3-dimensional pot from a 2-dimensional pattern.
