Del's Cup

The cup in this Ana Inciardi mini print is rendered in deep forest green and golden yellow, with bold vertical stripes wrapping the sides and a foamy top spilling over the rim. A lemon-shaped label at the center carries the Del's script logo and the words "Fresh Fruit," with smaller text reading "Stop at the Sign of the Lemon" arcing around the upper portion. The composition is clean and direct, filling the frame with the cup as its sole subject against a plain background. Del's Lemonade is a frozen lemonade stand tradition rooted in Cranston, Rhode Island, where it has operated since 1948. The drink is made with whole lemons and is closely tied to Rhode Island identity, recognized well beyond the region as a symbol of New England summer. This print appeals to collectors drawn to regional food culture and to subjects with strong nostalgic associations. It sits comfortably as a food print within Inciardi's broader catalog, where she consistently brings the same graphic confidence to everyday objects and edible subjects. The striped cup translates particularly well to her reduction printmaking style, where limited color and strong contrast define the image. Collectors from New England are especially drawn to this one, but its appeal extends to anyone who responds to food subjects rendered with precision and economy. It pairs naturally with her other food prints, and works well alongside any piece in her collection where a single, iconic object carries the full visual weight.
