In place of a conventional coffee cup handle, this quirky horse mug from Poland-based Etsy user 'barceramics' uses a pair of galloping horse legs.
The porcelain mugs are crafted by hand and each of them has a pair of legs in a different running position. As a charming embellishment, the hooves of the horses have been dipped in pure gold. Although there's not much to go on here, the combination of white and gold on the horse gives the feel of an extra fancy type of horse, which you could easily imagine belongs to a unicorn.
Since the coffee cups are slender, delicate and hand made, it is advised that they only be washed by hand.
