Design Porn -- Mad Hatter Tea Set

I do wayyy too much internet strolling to ever remember how I find the things that I find, which is particularly sad in the case of these "mad hatters." If the lead led to other equally adorable trinkets... well, I suppose it could have been damaging. Perhaps this is for the best.


Anyhow, these so-called "mad hatters" are a really precious take on the much-loved Alice in Wonderland tea party. If there's one scene in one movie that would spark a food lover's imagination, it could just be that one. It was with that in mind that Jorine Oosterhoff made these teacups, each with their own protective lid. Why the lid? Perhaps to keep your tea from getting cold. Or perhaps to protect candies from being found by the wrong eaters. But really, I think they're just for cuteness. Expensive cuteness, at that--this set of three is on sale for a rather exorbitant $595.00 right here.
