Maybe not that original, but I find them endearing.

Those are really cool, though I'm more of a mug person.

The most common of these is the anamorphic cylinder, which typically consists of a mirrored cylinder placed in the center of a distorted painting. Such curiosities first appeared in the 1600s, and became popular throughout Europe in the 18th century.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/2C45D8C5-9180-46F1-96FB-EA41BB447070" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><DIV>The Anamorphic Cup is the first product to employ the centuries old visual play of the anamorphic cylinder. The stainless steel cup has a polished mirror finish. The porcelain saucer is printed with distorted images or words. These graphics can only be viewed correctly though the curved, reflective surface of the cup. The image is indecipherable when the cup and saucer are separate.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/9296C107-FFD9-472E-A12A-AC8C5F627715" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/576F47DF-A959-45C3-890E-643861EA1488" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/A1E88BF0-5306-4263-BEAB-AA65F5A134A1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><DIV>A prototype of the Anamorphic Cup was first shown during Tokyo Designers Block 2003, and consequently became a retail product the following year.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/721F4A2F-2A83-4AD5-B7F1-129773FEEE18" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.tricks-and-illusions.com/img/54D5A3AF-51CA-4973-A93B-2A3B985AF81C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tricks-and-illusions.com/2007/05/anamorphic-cups.html"><DIV>If you would like to purchase one of these  cups, go to <A href="http://www.anamorphicseries.com/"><SPAN><I><STRONG>http://www.anamorphicseries.com</STRONG></I></SPAN></A></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B8FDA8DC-DCD1-4814-B515-389241B065FE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
