The take-out coffee cup is a familiar sight on the streets of New York, and certainly not unique to Greek-owned restaurants. It's the cup of choice in Italian pizza shops, Indian diners and Jewish delis, even among homeless people looking for spare change. It has become the most famous paper cup in the world. "We Are Happy To Serve You" is in Greek letters above three steaming cups of coffee and between two pillars. There's also a Greek vase with blue and white colors that have become part of the New York City landscape. More than 180 million of the iconic paper coffee cups are used in the city every year. The founder of an environmentally-minded design group called Exceptionlab converted the New York coffee cup from disposable to permanent, from paper to ceramic. Manufactured of lead-free earthenware, the 10-ounce cups are microwave and dishwasher safe. New York Coffee Cup Ceramic. Collectibles, Gifts Specialty |
