JUG WATER CARAFE AND CUP BY ALDO BAKKER

 From Particles Gallery, a curvy porcelain water jug that requires thoughtful handling, it can rest spout up ready to serve or spout down to "shelter" a matching cup.

"When full, the Jug balances on the table; when empty, you can turn it upside down again to cover the cup." More at Aldo Bakker. Photos: Erik and Petra Hesmerg.
