Tea cup ballet is a 1935 photograph by Australian modernist photographer Olive Cotton. It is arguably Cotton’s best known work. The photographs depicts six tea cups and saucers lit so to form shadows that suggest the form of ballet dancers.This picture evolved after I had bought some inexpensive cups and saucers from Woolworths for our studio coffee breaks to replace our rather worn old mugs.
