I suspect most people who've been obsessed with tea for a while have
wished for some item of teaware that doesn't exist. I know I have.

Anyone who's spent much time in the diners, delis, and luncheonettes
of New York, historically often owned and run by Greek immigrants,
will recognize the Greek-themed paper cups they use:

Those who've never been to New York probably won't understand why I
find the idea of the one on the left, in the form of a gaiwan, so
compelling. Porcelain for me, by the way, not paper.
