Cobalt blue pottery came from China . It is supposed to represent spring with tree blossoms falling on cracked ice. Sounds contrived. When I decided to paint these cups I had this peculiarly shaped wood panel ready to go .. I wanted the surface to be covered with these cups so in order to accomplish what I had envisioned , I had to adjust the proportions of the to pieces to fit the space. It can't possibly matter much , as a number factories produced it and I sincerely doubt there is any rigid requirement as to shapes and sizes. Artists get to use poetic license anyway to interpret what they are painting, because they probably can't get it just quite right.
