“The sculptural potential of clay is unlimited, and in theory functional clay wares’ aesthetic potential unlimited too, from a classic Song celadon to Arneson’s genital encrusted teapots …(c 1971). West Coast funk with its kitschy teapots and cups were vehicles for sculptural objects never meant to be drunk from, and a genre of useless functional wares emerged. Nothing could be more useless in a practical sense than a work of art, especially a painting—yet most craftwork has a passing reference at least to function.”
