Traditional afternoon tea rituals are getting makeovers around the world as younger generations adopt them as their own; these poison tea cups are one way to have a little fun with the activity. Although they aren't actually poisoned, they step away from iconic porcelain designs in order to add an edginess to them modern individuals will appreciate.
Re-decorated by Elle of Etsy Shop Chase and Scout Design, the poison tea cups feature such phrases as 'arsenic' and images including skull and bones. Unfortunately, for those who would like to drink out of these poison tea cups, they were made for display purposes only. They must be treated with care as well in order to keep them in tip top shape.
