The figures draped around this series of glasses from Esther Derkx appear to be floating in midair thanks to the artist’s innovative screen-printing techniques. Divers, dancers, and other retro-styled athletes sweep across champagne flutes, wine glasses, and other new stemware from Royal Leerdam. Each piece has been carefully printed to seamlessly curve around the form of the glass, and each athlete and vessel have been matched for their compatible personalities. Not dishwasher safe.

A coffee boosts energy levels, especially when it is served in one of these "Salsa" espresso cups, appropriately named as the cups seem to be dancing on their saucers. The successful balancing act is achieved thanks to the clever design of the saucer which makes it possible for the egg-shaped cup to stand at every conceivable angle. With their ring-shaped handles and platinum or gold rims these Bernardaud cups also make attractive ornaments. Available as a set of 2 or 6.
