Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 05-31-2008 05:05 PM Thought some of you might enjoy seeing this, "Melting Teapot" (2005) by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray. Made of formed silver, dimensions 7 1/2 x 18 1/4 x 7 1/2 in. It is in the collection of the Museum of Arts & Design in Manhattan (which is closed until September as it moves to Columbus Circle).

On the lighter side, it reminds me of a plastic plate my friend put in the dishwasher that came out looking like an abstract space ship. She thought it was so funny that she put it in her garage sale (just as a joke), & we almost fell over when it sold it for $2.00! Jersey IP: Logged

When the museum re-opens in September, I plan to see this teapot and some of MAD's other great pieces of contemporary silver/jewelry that will be featured in the "Permanently MAD" exhibition which will show highlights of the permanent collection.
