Description
xRediscover the classic NYC coffee ritual with a modern, reusable ceramic cup
The ExceptionLab 10 oz ceramic cup brings the famous Greek Anthora to a durable, everyday vessel. Its design nods to the paper cup made iconic in New York City since 1963, but this version is crafted for repetition, reuse, and easier cleanup. The tactile details—especially the raised seam that runs up the side and a softly rolled lip—mirror the original paper cup’s look and feel, so you get that familiar sip without relying on disposable cups.
Size and balance are tuned for practical use: the cup comfortably holds 8–9 oz of your favorite brew, with a brim capacity near 10 oz. The proportion and weight are designed to feel steady in hand, making it a reliable companion for morning rituals, desk-side breaks, or cozy café-at-home moments.
Quality and safety are part of the design story. The ceramic glaze is lead-free, and the product meets Prop 65 standards, offering peace of mind for everyday use. The mug is microwave friendly and dishwasher safe, simplifying reheats and post‑coffee cleanup so you can focus on enjoying your drink.
