Teacups that stain pretty, improving with use
Designer Bethan Laura Wood has created a line of teacups that get prettier the more they are used. She treats the cups' interiors so that tea-stains build up more in patters she lays down -- the more tea you drink, the more pronounced the stain-patterns become. The patterns emerge idiosyncratically, based on your own style of tea-consumption. Link (via Digg)
