Here’s a New York souvenir we can get behind - the World’s most famous paper cup replicated in ceramic for home use.

ExceptionLab is a small business run by Treehugger founder Graham Hill in and out of New York city. Its primary mandate is to create socially and/or environmentally progressive small businesses. And their newest product is a ceramic version of the “Anthora” paper cup, designed in 1963, featuring Greek motifs and two shields on which are written “WE ARE HAPPY TO SERVE YOU”.

Hundred of thousands of these cups feed the caffeine addictions of New Yorkers every year. The sheer number of them coupled with their forty-year history has given the cup icon status along with yellow taxis and the Statue of Liberty.
