Beautiful and disturbing cup by Lily X. Su:

“Why is it that we find the cup so unappetizing? Could it have originated from survival tactics where we relate our proximity to another’s teeth as a threat of life, a reminder of predator and prey, poison and contamination?
Is this object then successful in its design to prevent gluttonous behavior should food and drink only be offered in the cup?”

Shark Attack Porcelain Mug:

“The first few sips from this innocent looking porcelain mug are pretty tame, but as you continue drinking things get a lot more exciting. What’s that lurking in the murky depths of your morning coffee? HOLY CRAP, IT’S A SHARK! Yep, the bottom of this 3-1/4″ tall, porcelain mug features the imposing head of a great white shark lunging up at you. A classic gag that’s both funny and disconcerting.”

Your guests will be quite surprised…

“Where Do tea bags go to die?. Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the ‘Tea bag Coffin’, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP.”
