The Pure cup by designer Maxim Velcovsky looks just like a common plastic disposable dixie cup, but it's actually made from high-quality porcelain and can reused over and over again. Cool cup, great design and the set of 2 cups is quite a deal compared to endlessly throwing more and more money in the trash with those disposable cups. After a drink of it takes just as long to give this cup a fresh rinse as it would take to toss away the other.
