Pythagoras Cup Of Justice - Hand Painted Ceramic Greek Trick Mug, 4.3" Tall

Ever heard of a cup that punishes the greedy? This is the famous Pythagoras Cup, also called the Cup of Justice or the Greedy Cup. It's a totally usable, hand-painted ceramic mug based on an ancient Greek design. Here's the trick: if you fill it up just right, you can drink normally. But if you get greedy and fill it past a certain point, a hidden siphon kicks in and drains the ENTIRE cup out the bottom! It's a hilarious practical joke and a cool piece of history. Each mug is about 4.3 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter, completely handmade and hand-painted in Greece, so colors and designs might vary slightly—that's part of the charm. Perfect for a philosophy lover, a history buff, or anyone who enjoys a good conversation-starting gag. Just don't be too greedy!
