Rocket Espresso Cup goes Viral

Here are a few of the blogs that have featured the Rocket Espresso Cup by designer Isohedral. It has been amazing and we have made over 120 of these cups mostly in our glossy white glaze. They are a fun piece and I would love to supply a set in our complete range of colors. Now how do I repeat this for some of our other designs.
