# Tipsy Tea Cups Trixiedelicious Tastefully Labels a Saucer Set for Hardcore Alcohol By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-05-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trixiedelicious References: [thefancy](http://www.thefancy.com/things/248638229/Vodka-and-Tequila-altered-teacup-set) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/trixiedelicious?ref=ls_profile) Trixiedelicious is a designer from Auckland, New Zealand who likes refurbishing old china and table settings into something much more eye-catching. From coffee mugs to dinner plates, the latest victim for Trixiedelicious is a elegant [tea cup and saucer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-afternoon-tea) set that has been branded for anything but the calming daily drink. Instead, the designer took the [vintage English Colclough bone china](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set) teacup and saucer pair and made it a place to take a sip, or swig, of [vodka and tequila](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afternoon-teaquila). It's a very unconventional way to alter a china set but it's cheekiness is sure to catch the attention of many. I only can imagine this is how Queen Elizabeth entertains her guests during a party that is anything but tea and crumpets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycling Dinnerware:** Opportunity to enhance vintage dinnerware into modern, creative products - **Alcohol-paired Tableware:** Opportunity to design and market tableware to pair with alcoholic drinks - **Cheeky Design:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional tableware design with unconventional, fun designs ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Innovative home decor products that think outside the box can capture customer interest - **Beverage:** Collaboration between tableware designers and beverage companies can create new, exciting drinking experiences - **Fashion and Design:** Upcycling and unconventional design can find opportunities in the fashion and design industry, where creativity and uniqueness are highly valued ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Floral Tea Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-to-a-tea.md) - [Alcohol-Infused Tea Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-whiskey-black-tea-set.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Poison-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist.md) - [Chocolate Martini Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kahlua-espresso-martony-glass.md) - [Authentic Tin Sake Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sake-cup-1.md) - [Playful Teapot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot-design1.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Cocktail Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-cocktail-set.md) - [Mexican-Inspired Afternoon Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afternoon-teaquila.md)
