This cup is the first attempt at the three. It gave me a lot of struggles with building the handle, as it kept breaking and falling apart. Eventually I decided to just bisque fire them and apoxy them on later. It's almost completed, the picture on the left shows my handle pieces 2 steps away from being completed.
The piece below is the finished cup. I had to super glue the handle at a different angle then I wanted to because it broke off. It works rather nicely however. it's surprisingly ergonomic.

This is my second cup. I got the idea to make a funnel shape cup, and turn it into a tornado, glazing the inside so it is functional, but painting the outside for better detail. Below I made a base which is painted to resemble a street with some houses, and the tornado ripping up the road in the middle. I wanted to make it so if someone made a drink in this cup, and they stirred it, it would "create" the tornado.
The cup below is the finished tornado cup glued together. The small point of contact broke and was difficult to get glued, but eventually I got it to stick.
This piece is my third cup. I made it small and simple, but I added a cool glazed design to it to attract people.
