The Dixie cup is recreated in porcelain. Included is the word 'pure' and a barcode. Definitely not disposeable.

With a simple shift in materials, the common dixie cup is transformed into an elegant comment on fast food culture! Instead of plastic, Maxim Velcovsky's Pure cup is made of high-quality porcelain. As a result, the focus shifts onto the fragile aesthetics of the form instead of its practical, mundane functions. A simple yet striking reflection of capitalism and mass production.

The Pure cup ($39) by designer Maxim Vel?ovský looks just like a common plastic disposable dixie cup, but it's actually made from high-quality porcelain and can reused over and over again. Cool cup, great design and the set of 2 cups is quite a deal compared to endlessly throwing more and more money in the trash with those disposable cups. After a drink of it takes just as long to give this cup a fresh rinse as it would take to toss away the other. (via The Green Head)
