{"product_id":"red-coffee-cup-ornament","title":"Red Coffee Cup Ornament","description":"\u003cp\u003eA coffee ornament should look like the cup that actually gets used, so this one skips the saucer and the foam art: a red diner-style cup in hand-blown glass, handle out, painted the particular red of a mug someone reaches for before speaking. The red is built in two coats so it stays saturated in tree light, the rim carries a pale line where a rim wears, and the interior is darkened to the level of a coffee nobody has finished. The capped loop rises opposite the handle, so the cup hangs ready to be taken. My friend Ottoline does not accept conversation before her first cup and has trained an entire office to schedule itself around the fact. The ROM keeps a handling collection — objects visitors are invited to pick up, because some things are only understood through use — and no object anywhere is more handled than a morning cup. This one asks only to be looked at, which for a coffee cup is retirement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chive Ceramics Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665961795721,"sku":"ORN370","price":17.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/5687\/9497\/files\/small_ornament_coffeecup-red_-PS_3_transp.webp?v=1784670690","url":"https:\/\/chive.com\/products\/red-coffee-cup-ornament","provider":"Chive Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
