A product of Poland's century-long tradition of fine enamelware, these Steel Cups ($32) are made for the heavy use. The Famous Red Enamel Steel Cup's rim and handle are some of the sturdiest in the market due to it being double-dipped in enamel - it has the potential to last more or less just as long as the 100 year-old factory it was hand-crafted in. The cup's durability will not let you down - no matter how much liquid you down with it.
