Some may feel that the bacon trend has gone a bit far, but these pig-shaped cups by Sara Lynch are so cute that you won't care. Lynch, a.k.a Potsdamelf, uses a potter's wheel to make the general shape of the piece and then hand carves the porcelain forms. The end result is a thoughtfully crafted little work of art.
Aptly communicating your love of bacon, these peculiar piggy cups also boast a pinch of vintage charm. Their polished, yet rustic look will add a touch of softness to your modern, minimalist kitchen decor while also making for an amazing conversation piece.
If pigs aren't your thing, Lynch has made an array of adorably charming and modern ceramics available to the public.
