How does the same designer decide she's going to do a "brass knuckles" shot glass and later decide the world needs tea cups with handles on the bottom? Oh, knuckles! Simone Brewster's [China Cups and Punch Ups](http://www.simonebrewster.com/CHINA-CUPS-PUNCH-UPS.html) were inspired by her knuckles and created these china-ware cups for "[The Warhol Philosophy Collection](http://www.simonebrewster.com/WARHOL-MENU.html)".

One thing's for sure, you don't want to mess with anyone sipping from one of these!
