"The cups are just wonderful. The paper ones became my best friends in
art school, in Boston. When I hold one of the ceramic ones, I'm taken back
to those wonderful days!"

"..I was telling my wife jennie just the other day, that one of the the silliest
things i miss about living in new york, are the somehow wonderful blue and white, greek-themed paper cups that are so ubiquitous thereI remember so fondly, drinking tea or coffee from those cups with a great bagel from Essa, or H&H...it just always felt so comforting...so right....well - the very next day we were shopping in seattle and lo and behold in velocity art and design was a perfect ceramic replica of my beloved greek paper cup! no f**in way! (way!)they are perfect! the matte finish, the color, the "paper" notches and seams.
I just had to write to thank you for this little piece of genius!
we bought a bunch of them and i haven't had my coffee at home in anything else since!

a fan,"
