LuychoLuycho Mirror Cup Locomotion The Flying Bird_11oz

My mother loved it! Great birthday present!

My horse-loving, artist friend, who is interested in science, loves it. One gift that touches all her areas of interest including afternoon tea is the perfect gift. It is well made. The art isn’t tacky. It is elegant.

Bought these for a Christmas present, and the only problem with them is that everyone who saw me unbox it wants one also.

This is beyond cool. I don't care what any other reviewer says, it is NOT that hard to create the galloping horse illusion by gently rotating the cup on the saucer, you just need to adjust the speed of rotation or your angle of viewing if you're not seeing it happen.I got the horse one because it reminded me of Muybridge's earliest film/motion tests of a galloping horse and then was delighted to read in the enclosed pamphlet that Muybridge was actually the artist's inspiration.I bought the original of this mug rather than a knock-off, even though it is REALLY EXPENSIVE, because original artists deserve to be supported and the amount of testing and research that went into this must have been phenomenal. It is not a cheap trick! Who cares if you have to hand wash it? Who cares if you can't microwave it? I could not be happier with this, and I have a collection of other illusion types of teacups and mugs, too.I highly recommend this as a gift for any cinematographer, animator, or film historian in your life - they will truly appreciate it.

Pretty and whimsical. Pricy, but good quality

Amazing way to craft aspects of food and art when enjoying a cup of beverage and entertaining graphics that keep you focus

I’ve always loved zoetropes, and even did some animation myself, so this is an interesting twist. Alas, it’s much too expensive to actually use as a daily mug, and with the gold paint without overglaze, it’s not dishwasher safe and definitely never allowed in the microwave oven. If the price were <€35 and the paint had an overglaze, it would be a Must Have, but at €200 each For an extremely fragile and delicate “art” item like this!?! :-o. Nope.

I bought this and two others as a late Christmas gift. I got to open each box to ensure no chips, cracks, (basically nit-picking) or any flaws on the cup and plate: NONE. I could not express how just several lines on the dish made an impact on the reflectiononto the cup. The cup and plate were perfectly made themselves; but that added motion of the “running cat”, “flying bird”, and “running horse” is the BIG bonus. I really do suggest to anyone to purchase at least one of the sets. I will be buying some for myself in the future. Thank You to the Artist~
