Talking about a coffee mug ...

Went to a promo place to have a look at the wrap-around color mugs they
do. Spotted a stainless steel one that really caught my eye. This is a
nice, solid double-walled (so it won't burn you) stainless steel coffee
mug that can be laser-engraved.

I'll post a photo and a concept rendering in binaries.images.

Was wondering what folks here thought about this instead of a photographic
one ...

when I see enough people interested ;)

while folks who have responded have liked, I'd need to see a bit more
interest ... minimum quantities and all.

[plus, they're expensive ... I'd need to sell them for about US$30 plus
shipping for it to be worthwhile].

What kind of minimum quantities are you looking at to make it worth offering them?

At that price level I would only go for 1 cup, but I would definitely
buy one!

That is expensive. I could get an electric coffee maker for that price
I'll buy one

What are the dimensions of the cup?

Got a toaster recently and for the $30 I could buy 3 of those, but it's an
extremely cheap bargain toaster.  A POV-Ray mug is more valuable to me.
Admittedly, I could imagine difficulty in selling 150 though.

> What are the dimensions of the cup?

All I know is approximate capacity is 6 ¾ ounces (US, 7 UK) or 200
milliliters, as Chris Cason has answered before.  Very coffee mug sized
then, even though the pictures make it look like a tall beer mug.  A little
mathematics would help to figure out the size based on the shape we already
know about.  Unfortunately I'm probably much better at guessing than I am at
math so I'll say it's 4 inches tall by 2 ¾ inches wide at the top and 2
inches across bottom.  Without looking at the picture again, that is, and
also not know if the inside drops all the way to the base.  :-)
So I could be totally wrong.

The mathematics I'm interested in, coffee mug-wise, concern how hot that metal
mug would be to hold and drink from filled with scalding coffee. Definitely more
of a showpiece than a functional vessel for hot liquids.

It's double wall thermal insulated and it has a unique safety feature
called a handle.

If you'd bothered to read my original post you would have noticed that I clearly
stated that it was double-walled. Which is one of the reasons it is so expensive.

Maybe the real new feature request for POV-Ray 4 is a sense of humor in the POV

Hey, I have a sense of humor.  It's right over there on the shelf, where I
put it when I joined up.  All I gotta do is just dust it off and plop it
back in.  I can do that anytime I want to.  Really.

*It is double walled*. The only place the internal surface is joined to 
the external surface is at the very lip of the cup, heat getting to the 
outer surface that way will quickly diffuse into the atmosphere. The 
interior of the cup might be vacuum or air, both good insulators...it is 
the same principle used in thermos bottles, these cups will probably 
keep coffee hot better than ceramic cups.
