ANGELA CUMMINGS 1983 For Arita Pair Of Twisted Shakers In Gilded Porcelain
Pair of twisted table shakers designed by Angela Cummings.
A beautiful and rare pair of table shakers designed in New York City by the celebrated artist-designer Angela Cummings in 1983. Presented in new old stock condition, this exceptional set remains new in its original box and has never been used. The original Barneys New York retail label is still affixed to the box, further enhancing its desirability and collectability.
Known as the “Twist” pattern, the sculptural shakers were produced by Arita Fine China, Japan, as part of Angela Cummings' rare and highly sought-after home design collaborations. Crafted in fine Japanese porcelain, the design features an elegant geometric twisted form finished with a rich all-over gold glaze, reflecting Cummings' signature approach to organic sculptural design and refined luxury. Equally suited as a striking display object or as functional tableware, this rare Arita collaboration represents an important example of Angela Cummings' work beyond jewelry design.
Pieces from her home collections are seldom encountered and are increasingly appreciated by collectors of decorative arts and twentieth-century design. This set combines artistic innovation, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless elegance, making it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of Angela Cummings, fine Japanese porcelain, and distinctive designer tableware.
