Philip Kupferschmidt is an Orange County-based ceramic artist who makes unique vases and mugs. Kupferschmidt\u2019s ceramic creations seem like they have been melting at one point before being frozen in time. The artist achieves this effect by glazing the mugs and vases with drops of clay to simulate dripping. He also gives them unusual shapes that resemble what happens when something is exposed to high heat.\n\n\n\n
