The Tiki Cup

Update 10/4: Wow, this collection is selling quickly! If you see that something is sold out, please be sure to sign up for restock notifications. You'll get first dibs as soon as there are more. Please also be aware of longer than usual lead times :) Originally designed for The Plaza Hotel in New York City, this Tiki Cup has been plucked from the archives for the pure fun of it. Each one is slip cast, smoothed, and glazed by hand, making this cup both sturdy and striking. It'll be the hit of your summer barbecues and just the thing to cure your mid-winter blues, too. Measurements: 3" diameter x 9" height Shipping Lead Time: 6 - 8 weeks About the 20th Anniversary Collection It all started at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2004, as Danny Meyer was preparing to re-open MoMA’s Terrace 5 Café and Café 2, his then-employee, future restaurateur and owner of Make It Nice hospitality group, Will Guidara, commissioned Jono Pandolfi to design a chocolate dishes, chopstick holders, and a set of bud vases for the project. In hindsight, this was it: Jono’s big break. What has followed in the 20 years since has spanned ceramics studios from Queens to Union City, New Jersey, where the operation has grown from a single kiln to more than a dozen and a one-man operation is now a team of 24 artisans. We’ve served over 750 hospitality clients, more than 15,000 home cooks, and, sometime last year, we’re pretty sure we made our one millionth plate. Featuring reissues from the archive and new collaborations with chefs, this Special Edition Anniversary collection is a celebration of 20 years of making the world a better plate.
