Graphically inspired by the number three in Chinese 三 (sān), this tumbler is a sculptural vessel for your morning coffee.

"These ritual vessels are a homage to the space between my ancestors and me.

Reminiscent of the traditional censers used in spiritual offerings, these forms are the contemporary reinterpretations of a centuries-old ritual, where the veneration of our ancestors using incense was a sacred and necessary part of daily life - similarly echoing the sacred act of reclaiming my heritage.

It is the acceptance of the social and political impacts I experience as a person of colour, being born into, engaging with, rejecting wholly, reclaiming and reconnecting with a culture that is intrinsically part of my identity.

It manifests the internal rebirth of my cultural identity, acknowledging and honouring my ancestors who, just like me, refined and perfected ceramics and pottery." - Theodosius Ng
