Eyes are glazed over with marvel....That is most excellent. Can coffe be drawn through the stem sorta like a straw?

I don't really like being told what to do! :wink:
I will however admit, that is one heck of a cup.

Hell, I think Brad has several pipes much larger than that!
Nice cup by the way...

@anthony - Haha.. well you don't have to be a DC about it.. (see what I did there?) :puffy:
The stem is solid, no hole. However, oddly, it seems there is a passage up the shank a bit. I may see about filling it in somehow. I don't like the idea of coffee or tea or such drying and leaving a sour/stale film up there hidden and ruining the next drink. Possibly fill it with a quick drying, non toxic clay or such. I'll have to investigate the options.

Try some pipe mud.

It's actually a planter. They used to make these years ago, also I have seen some that were used as ashtrays too! I have that I use to hold my pipe cleaners in.
