arazor: There is something darkly alluring to this. Something that leaves me inspired but I am not sure how. I have been looking at this picture for 5 days now trying to figure out what to write on this post, to explain what it makes me think.  I cannot and I would love to hear your thoughts.  Why are there two pots? Why are there 3 sizes of coffee/tea cups? What is under the dome? What is to be served on the only plate on the table? Why are there 5 cups that are off their saucers? In writing these questions they don’t seem all that interesting or imaginative but I have been stuck, tripping over myself thinking about them for almost a week now and I look forward to your insite.  Josef Sudek (Czech, 1896-1976). Advertising photograph for Ladislav Sutnar porcelain set (with black rim), 1932 (via fabiche) ? This makes me think of a computer graphics and imaging project.  Teapots featured quite heavily in a number of them.  But this is geometrically very aesthetically pleasing.  But my OCD is a little concerned that the butter dish (?) is off the edge of the table. I think perhaps there are only two sizes of cups and perspective makes the one in the middle look bigger than the five off the saucers.  In which case one set would be for tea, and the other for coffee. The groupings don’t make any immediate sense to me, and numerically, I don’t see a pattern in the numbers (left to right) 3, 7, 5, 3, 6.  But the groups and their cast shadows are just very pleasant to look at.
