The Skeleton Espresso Cup Stack Provides a Bare-Bone Coffee Time

— January 21, 2011 — Lifestyle
Now the Skeleton Espresso Cup Stack is truly a set which needs all its parts. If you were to break or lose one of the pieces, the series just wouldn't make sense anymore. A clever yet simple concept, these cups are pretty self-explanatory, stacking up to form a seamless skeleton.

Designed by Phoebe Richardson, the Skeleton Espresso Cup Stack was handmade in Stoke, England. It is priced at 38 pounds for four cups. What I like about this set is the fact that it doesn't have to be used just for Halloween. The illustrations are extremely well-done, translating to any occasion easily.
