Designer mugs are no longer just ceramic objects that serve as containers for drinks. They have already become something meaningful with sentimental value. Most of us have our favorite cups that we hate to share with other family members. And our tea or coffee will never taste as good if we drink it from something else.

Creative tea collections

In today's world, many of us are addicted to coffee or tea, and a hot morning drink helps us wake up and start the day. Few people pay attention to the decor of the cup itself. Usually, which one was given / bought, we use the one. Although many designer mugs definitely attract the attention of not only tea drinkers, but also those who love the art of painting and creating something unusual.

For example, each cup with a picture of cats (photo above) is an extension of the idea: the ornate handle goes from 3D to 2D. Paint connections visually expand the idealization of the object. On the other side is a white catcolors with outlines of borders - this is even more interesting, because the cup takes on an illusory multifaceted image depending on which angle you look at.

Professional even at lunchtime

Often at work, especially at lunchtime, do you want to please yourself with delicious coffee from an unusual cup? Then feel free to order designer mugs in the form of keys. Computerization has not bypassed this segment of kitchen utensils. Plus, now you can easily disguise the cup as a work accessory. Stylish, interesting and simple.

Minus - they are not equipped with handles, so it is better to drink soft drinks from them. After all, you can accidentally burn your fingers, and this is inopportune for a novice programmer who is just learning to read Pascal codes.

Two in one, or How to take everything away at once

There is a kind of cups that have special holes and recesses for cookies, sandwiches and other goodies.

This designer tea mug is the perfect companion for a crime spree: take all your cookies back to your room. It's really convenient:

• no need to run to the kitchen every time for a portion of sweets;
• no risk of dropping the dishes with something delicious;
• always have a free hand while carrying breakfast.

The marketers have created some amazing versions along the same lines. Hooks were placed on the rim of the cup, which began to serve as a device for "catching" the bags. Cups for cake lovers were provided with trays. And those who want to take away a portion of chocolates along with tea will like a mug with an additional limiter that does not allow the sweets to melt.

An unusual look at simple things

So designers have not yet mocked the human psyche. These mugs were invented a long time ago, but went on sale after the creator himself tested them on himself. Of course, you had to have a "cunning plan" to try out the designer mug for yourself. You don’t experience the convenience of drinking tea, but the creativity is at the highest level.

Spoons, by the way, are more of a creative component here, since they do not fit well inside the vessel. Drinking tea or coffee from such a cup is almost impossible, except perhaps through a straw. But no one will encroach on a designer mug in the team to take a sip of a fragrant drink.

By the way, each cup holds up to 25 ml of liquid, which is not enough for tea. Of course, espresso is designed for such dimensions, but it will be difficult to prepare it inside the container. Although the demand for the purchase of such a set doubled after Johnny Dep himself appeared in public with a similar accessory. The cost of one pair reaches 20 dollars. I guess people like to turn the sacrament of tea drinking into the most difficult quest game.

Handmade on plain mugs

But homemade glass or ceramic mugs are made using a simple technology.

Paint a white cuppretty simple. For this you will need:

• food markers for contour;
• heat-resistant paints for painting and drying in the oven;
• crystal coating and a solution of honey and glue to fix the result.

In this video, the master decorator uses spot painting technology. It turns out interesting: a lot of space for imagination and a quick drying method with a low-cost way to make mugs extraordinary.

Using this method, you can create New Year's designer mugs, where white paint is predominantly used. To give individuality, craftsmen use soft materials, such as polymer clay. It is ideal for sculpting a snowman on a mug, it holds well on a glossy and matte surface. And to make the cup shine with New Year's mood, add sparkles and bright shining colors, as in this video.

Functionality in design

Besides a beautiful appearance, any item should have a highlight. And it is also present in designer coffee cups. It must be for ease of use at work or in a large family, some items are collected together, in one piece.

That's how it was designed with these mugs. Each of them is equipped with fasteners to which you can attach a pen or another cup - probably so as not to lose the second one! The only bad thing is that, having connected the cups, the handles need to be put somewhere.

Pottery for beginners

Ceramics have a new formis born due to the ease of movement of the hands. There is no need to make an effort: this is an art that is comprehended at the expense of perfection. Designer tea cups can be made on a ceramic machine in a few days. And during this period of time, a person receives his clay imprint of feelings. The heart of the master is in the hands.

There is a peculiarity in ceramics: it hardens almost immediately, but will never take on an ideal shape if the fingers tremble. Everything will fall apart. Therefore, novice craftsmen work with materials, "enveloping" them from the outside with their hands and shaping them. Inside it, an experienced specialist creates a figure with his fingers, trying not to touch the thin and fragile contour of the product with his palm.

So that handmade designer mugs do not force the master to make many unnecessary movements, it is enough to recreate the object of the correct shape. After that, any dishes are subject to drying. In large enterprises, these are ovens, and at home, a simple oven.

Only after calcination can the clay base be used as a model for painting. And here it all comes down to fantasy. If you do not resort to expensive means, ceramics are first decorated, then treated with solutions to give shine and smoothness. The decor and varnishing is carried out by hand so that every crack is filled and the unevenness is masked.

Here you need to take into account the methods of processing materials, the use of paints, glass and other products to harden. Only a sequence "from scratch" will allow you to achieve great success. And everything thatcreated with your own hands, will sell at exorbitant prices. The main thing is to come up with an unusual design for your cups that your customers will love.
