Hoffmann Coffee Cup
It looks like we have another item to add to our list of gifts for coffee lovers, or at least for people on the look out for expensive coffee cups because the Hoffmann Coffee Cup is one of the most expensive that we've seen. For a single cup, this runs $334.16. The design, which is down in gold and is precisely symmetrical, was inspired by Josef Hoffmann, one of the founders of Augarten Porcelain in Vienna, and is actually done on a cup that is a Hoffmann design.

In the 80's Cartier had a Limoges service called "La Maison de Louis Cartier". A coffee cup and saucer costed around 450 USD. It's not available anymore but it definately was more expensive than this one.

It is a very unusual and beautiful coffee cup. Any of the basic limoges coffee cup is at least $50 so the price of that one is not really suprising.
