Hand-Carved Crystal and Stone Cups with Coasters
From: € 55,00
Maarten wanted to create a cup that honors the final step in the journey of carefully prepared specialty coffee beans / matcha tea — from the farmer, to the roaster, to the preparation—this cup gives your coffee the finishing touch. Please also consider combining different materials, as they look amazing together, such as a pink quartz cup paired with an aventurine green coaster.
A precious coffee or ceremonial matcha deserves a special cup. These hand-carved and polished cups are as unique as your drink or dessert. When not in use, they also serve as striking sculptures in your collection of design objects. Maarten Baptist celebrates his JADE espresso-coffee cup series with these handcrafted creations. Maarten wanted to create a cup that honors the final step in the journey of carefully prepared specialty coffee beans—from the farmer, to the roaster, to the preparation—this cup gives your coffee the finishing touch.
The cups are crafted from 100% natural and solid crystals and stones. Small stocks are available in various colors, but larger quantities and custom trays can also be produced to match the concept of your bar or restaurant.
The Calcite – Aventurine and Yooperlite cups are ideal for specialty coffee, while the quartz variants, though more delicate with hot beverages, serve as stunning sculptures. Pre-heating is recommended. Each piece is signed by Maarten Baptist.
When serving hot drinks, it’s advisable to very slowly pre-heat them due to the natural and delicately unpredictable nature of the material when exposed to rapid temperature changes. Quartz crystals, in particular, are quite fragile and may be best suited as decorative objects.

Clover Glasses
GlasswareThe production of these four-leaf clover glasses likens a gym more than a glass atelier. Each set of a decanter and three glasses is made out of one long extrusion glass tube, which is pulled down a round metal bar hanging from the ceiling.

YVE Jade tall vase with narrow neck
GlasswareYVE is presenting that one beautiful flower, made from jade green borosilicate glass made by skilled glassmakers. The vase is supported by a wooden block, made out oak, which exposes the vases. Projects such as YVE result from the close collaboration between designer Maarten Baptist and the glass blower. Bouncing ideas off each other makes the craziest ideas seem feasible.

YVE is a girl’s name; a hand mirror is typically a girl’s product. Ordinarily mirrors are flat surfaces, YVE is mirror all around. The inside of the ball is covered in silver, which gives the mirror a naturally bronze and your skin a nice glow.
