Notes

Retrieved from Gemini G.E.L. Catalogue Raisonné page: [https://wayback.archive-it.org/22902/20241219191114/https://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/gemini.pl?view=record&limit=30&sort=2&skip=1558] The cups were slip cast from a plaster mold. After the bisque-firing, each piece was hand-glazed with Duncan and Mayco glazes. Latex resist was used to mask off each color area during glazing. Each piece was glaze-fired twice at Cone 7. Glazes used were: Mayco 204 - alpine blue; Duncan 614 - matador red; Mayco 643 - tangerine. The display box was designed by the artist and constructed from Red Birch, frosted glass, and clear glass.
