Only NY (Anthora Cup)

This Ana Inciardi mini print centers on the iconic Anthora coffee cup, rendered in blue and white with bold "NY" lettering in warm orange-gold across the front. The cup sits slightly askew, filled with dark coffee, and its lid rests beside it on a white ground, showing a coffee ring stain that gives the composition a casual, lived-in quality. Three small steaming cup icons appear beneath the lettering, faithful to the original cup's design. The Greek key border along the top and bottom of the cup is rendered with care, and the whole image carries a relaxed, hand-drawn energy. The Anthora cup, designed by Leslie Buck in 1963, became one of the most recognized disposable coffee cups in the world, closely associated with New York City street food culture and the city's Greek-owned diners and coffee carts. This is a natural New York print for collectors who feel connected to the city's street-level rituals. The subject has genuine nostalgic pull, particularly for anyone who grew up grabbing coffee from a corner cart or bodega. Inciardi gravitates toward subjects that carry cultural weight without being monumental, and the Anthora cup fits that sensibility perfectly alongside her other food and city-life subjects. The print pairs naturally with her other New York city scenes, making it a strong anchor piece for collectors building a thematic grouping around urban everyday objects. The loose linework and restrained color palette are consistent with her broader catalog, giving this print a coherent place within a larger Inciardi collection.
