"The Original" New York Coffee-to-Go Cup (Ceramic Version)

• WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM: You’ll be holding history in your hands.  The “Anthora” paper cup was first introduced to New Yorkers in the early 1960s when Greek immigrants were at the helm of the City's coffee shop and diner industry. Casting into a ceramic version renders the disposable cups into permanent, useful objects.
• The Paper Cup Goes Ceramic: The Anthora paper coffee cup – a quintessential symbol of New York City’s coffee culture – has been elevated from a disposable icon to a permanent art piece,  offered in a set of 2 handsomely-boxed cups.
• More Functional: Ceramic retains heat better than paper, keeping beverages warm longer while being cool to the touch. Ceramics are resistant to wear and tear. With proper handling, the cups can last indefinitely.
• True to the Original: Thoughtfully crafted to replicate the details of the classic paper cup, including the seam, edge fold, and iconic shape.  The ceramic version elevates the design into a functional piece of art.
• Heirloom Potential: The ceramic version transforms an ephemeral object into something permanent, making it a keepsake or collectible.
• Comfortable to sip: Features a rim and base designed for easy handling of hot liquids, eliminating the need for a handle.
• Microwave and Dishwasher Safe: The ceramic cups can be safely heated and cleaned, adding to their convenience. Certified lead- and cadmium-free, meeting California and FDA safety standards.  Specs: 3-3/4 inches high by 3-1/4 inches wide and holds 8 ounces.
• For Keeping or Giving: You'll want these for yourself – and as the ultimate present for the New Yorker at heart. Whether they’ve moved away and miss their morning diner coffee or still walk the city streets, this set brings back memories of the city that never sleeps.
