'barceramics' is a Poland-based Etsy user that creates extremely unusual cup handles on mugs. One such example of this is the 'Let’s Dance' porcelain mug, which takes on the shape of a woman's bent leg instead of the standard round handle.
On the dancer's leg is a cascading diamond pattern, which provides some visual interest and makes it look as though a pair of tights is being worn. As barceramics notes, each of the mugs is made by hand, so there are bound to be slight variances in the shapes of the feet on these quirkily charming mugs. Even so, the oddly-shaped handle is bound to be something totally unique to the eyes of coffee drinkers and dance lovers alike. Despite the delicate look of the mug, it is dishwasher-safe.
