Heart-shaped teacups

These heart-shaped tea-cups from Bits and Piece run $13 each ($10 in quantity). I wonder if they're a little sloppy to drink out of? Link (via Cribcandy)

Do they offer a left-handed version of this cup? If not then everyone who's left handed will be looking down at an upside-down heart when they take a sip.

@1 - As a lefty, I thought it looked like a bum!

It is a bum.

it would seem cory, that right handed drinkers would have a most efficient drinking experience, due to the channel created by the point of the heart. left handed drinker would apparently be drinking brownish liquid from a "bum". ampidexterious here, it's all good.

Nah, it works just like a regular cup. I got 2 last Valentine's Day. Red tea (pomegranate, Red Zinger)looks the best in it!

yeah, I've been given to understand (without a cite mind you) that the traditional valentines heart is so shaped because it resembles a (predominately) female's posterior and lower back.

I almost gave up something great here, but with Ape Lad in mind, I realized, "No...I need to eat."

I paid $13 to drink brown liquid from a receptacle shaped like an ass. . .

. . .that's a bargain at twice the price!

It certainly seems very Edwardian.

Been dumped? One could drink poison (moderately slow-acting) from it and symbolically break the cup. Poetic- although one should use something that leaves a relatively good-looking corpse. Drain cleaner is out.
