Steam is a good idea. Since coffee is an oily and aromatic brew, a bit of surface texturing for tiny bubbles would be a nice touch. (Traveler did a cauldron with bubbles last week for the Propsclub, and I think I saw it in Real Deals: bubbles add character to a fluid.) The spoon should be a less saturated blue, because it really jumps out now. Its reflection in the side of the cup is wonderful. It also appears to be a coffee spoon (smaller than a teaspoon). The cup itself is magnificent. The pattern looks very high end with that restrained gold edge. Nice work all around! Carolly
