I got an early birthday present from my mother. It's a hand made kava cup! I remember reading a while ago about Adil's tiny kava cup and thought something like that would make sense for me since I drink such a small amount of kava at a time. I mentioned to her the idea of making a tiny cup for one of her first projects and here it is. (she's taking a pottery class at the local community college)
It holds a Maximum of 2.5 oz. (74 ml) but it's really easy to spill when topped off. Still, at 2 oz. per fill it's perfect.
The crappy camera I had on hand doesn't capture it but the glaze looks like really dark coconut shell that's been glossed over with abalone shell mother of pearl.
I had to baptize this today so I took out the good stuff I've been saving and filled it up with some Paradise Hawaiian.(smiley: pimp)
Due to the handmade nature of the cup, it's small size and the slippery glaze it takes some skill to drink out of it without dumping it on the table.(smiley: laugh) I'll probably glue rubber sheet on the bottom later on so it's easier to keep a grip on. *does not want to break it!*
I asked my mother "So...if I show this on the forum and other people want one to...what should I tell them? hmm?" She just laughed.(smiley: grin) I'm sorry! I just like it...a lot!(smiley: roll)
