My Cup Runneth Over

  ... With utilitarian value!

Morgan Ho


This flower-print cup, made from assumedly porcelain has a broken handle. The cup has been in my possession for several years although has only been broken recently (within the last several months). As seen in the above picture it does a fantastic job holding up my comic book collection. The cup is so efficient in doing so that it does not even rest its base- managing to use only the adjacent wall and books to hold itself up.

The cup is quite elegant in design and serves as an exemplar of simplicity. Bookends are infamous for not being cup-shaped or facilitating a storage compartment. Similarly, this cup offers a generous degree of rotation lending to ease of use and aesthetic value.


Pros
  • Perfectly adapted for keeping books of all kinds upright
  • Can serve as an inexpensive vase
  • Aesthetically pleasing and is easily incorporated into office or domestic settings
  • Good conversation starter
Cons
  • Not the best build quality
  • Less viable when deployed upside-down
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
