Why is the price of this Bone China Paper Cup expensive ?
Recently, the paper cup held by C.E.O.
of the Korean web community (DCInside) gathered a topic on the community site.
This paper cup is said to cost 165,000 won in
two sets. By the way, this paper cup is so popular that many
people can't buy it.
It turns out that this paper cup is
made by Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co is a brand of
diamond accessories that started in New York in 1837.
Originally it was a silverware and fancy goods
company, and the company changed its name to Tiffany & Co. since 1853 and
became an American luxury brand that specializes in making and selling diamonds.
Why does Tiffany & Co sell two
sets of 165,000 won paper cups in such a jewelry brand?
This is because Tiffany
& Co' was starting a store dealing with silverware and fancy goods, and Tiffany
& Co. has manufactured the high-end tableware and the many gifts of the
state guest used by the White House.
Like this, it is thought
that their products are mostly a jewelry brand at present, but did not give up
the tableware which they handled in the past.
No matter how their products are Top
Brand, I thought it would be too much expensive to sell two paper cups for as
much as 165,000 won.
Fortunately, this product was identified as a mug designed
as a paper cup, not a simple paper cup. It
is a kind of 'work' which Tiffany masters sublimates practical items into art.
The official cup-shaped mug is called
“Tiffany & Co. Bon China Paper Cup”.
This product has the strength of
about 3 times stronger than the traditional porcelain due to the bone china
method, so the weakness of the mug, which is a disadvantage of the mug, does
not appear in this product.
It is also warm, like a casserole,
and is resistant to heat, so you can pour hot water or wash it in a dishwasher,
but it is not recommended for use in microwave ovens.
