Cup #76

The handle grows from the cup then loops and sweeps down to hold the cup up in a claw like base...

Cup #75

The cup leafs open and the handle emerges...again the cup nests in the base and its rounded bottom is visible just below the carved sweep of the base

Cup #74

Celebration...the lively handle enfolds the cup which nests within it and emerges from it. Look closely at the very rounded bottom of the cup that is just visible through the cut-out sweep of the base. (click on the cup to enlarge it and get a better view)
