Insult Teacups
Not everyone’s cup of tea.
At first glance these porcelain teacups look perfectly proper—delicate florals, ornate patterns, and charming birds straight from a Victorian parlor. Look closer and the cups begin to speak their minds. Each teacup and saucer pairs old-world elegance with wicked little bon mots, turning the ritual of afternoon tea into something far more honest.
Every piece is hand-insulted and kiln-fired, transforming porcelain—sometimes newly made vegan china, sometimes genuine vintage finds—into small works of functional mischief. Produced in limited runs and occasionally even one of a kind, these cups have appeared everywhere from private celebrity tea parties to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (#Tea4Tuesday), And Just Like That, and in publications including Forbes, Bust, and Boing Boing. Because sometimes the most elegant way to say exactly what you mean… is with scalding wit wrapped in roses.
