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.
Volume/Size: 0.2 l – 6.7 fl oz.
