Two Demitasses 071

Since demitasse means half cup, do two demitasses make a whole?

.

These were a thrift store find and since it was half price day the total bill for two of them was 38 cents. I like the shape of them. They are white with a pale cream band at the top and some gold paint designs.

.

I like that they are silly and frilly in a way because of our world of super-sized everything, these dainty little bits become ridiculous.

.

The porcelain that they are made from is pretty thin and lets the light pass through it. In the previous drawing of the single demitasse I was working on capturing the shadow that the design on the outside was creating on the inside of the cup.
