In moments of stress or contemplation, Captain Picard asked the replicator to produce a hot cup of Earl Grey tea. The replicator, knowing exactly what he wanted, produced the tea in an elegant glass cup.
The Star Trek: The Next Generation art department wanted the cup to look both futuristic and timeless. It had to be at home in the 24th century, but it also had to be instantly recognizable. Rather than creating their own tea cup from scratch, they looked for the best examples of modern, twentieth century design.
They settled on a glass tea cup made by European homewares company, Bodum.
The instantly recognizable BISTRO cup became so closely associated with Star Trek, that fans informally refer to it as “The Picard Cup”. It went on to appear in Star Trek: Voyager: Star Trek: Picard.

Similar to others I ordered this at the start of December as it was listed as being in stock. There’s been no update to the order since the payment was taken from me and no reply to my queries. Avoid.
Unfortunately my review isn't good due to the fact I never received my item waited months. My only conclusion is they didn't have the item to sell in the first place as since my order was placed sevrel months ago the item has been in and out of stock a few times.
I ordered this set over a month ago for a Christmas present. It said next day dispatch but I still haven't received it. The worst part is there's zero response to any of my messages asking for an update. Unfortunate as I was looking forward to gift these tea cups, but I think I'll have to cancel my order. Wouldn't order from Zavvi again.
