I absolutely love the work of Elke Sada. I have some of her cups at home and drinking tea from them is like viewing an abstract painting each time. Using mainly very simple shapes, Elke then treats the surface as a full three-dimensional canvas with loads of bright colour and pattern. A complete delight!
