Artist

Michael Banner, born Kalamazoo, MI 1939

Maureen Banner, born Chicago, IL 1946

Luce Center Label

The individual parts of this teapot are designed very simply, but the smooth silver sets up a range of reflections between the body, the spout, and the two parts of the handle. The restrained form becomes a kind of sculpture that leads the eye in different directions. The cloisonne enamel set into the knob adds to the reflections with shifting areas of color.
