What it is:
A set of four fun, cone-shaped ice cream bowls with a pop art flair.
Why we love it:
Good food is good food, no matter how you eat it, but presentation can sometimes lend that extra special something. This applies, we think, most particularly to dessert. Ice Cream is a delicious treat under any circumstances, sure, but the serious ice cream lover may enjoy a somewhat unorthodox serving vessel to spice up an ordinary scoop of chocolate or vanilla. Certainly if you're searching for unorthodox, Andy Warhol is a good place to start. These clever melamine ice-cream "cones" are printed with a pop design by Andy Warhol, to lend them that ultra-modern edge. The four cones also come with a plexiglass stand for elegant display, and four spoon-straws, for getting every last bit of ice-cream out of the bottom. It's unlikely to make you famous (even for 15 minutes) but it's more fun than staring at a painting of a Campbell's Soup can. There's no better way to enjoy a little pretentious pop art with your ice cream.
