Patent ID: 7673766

Claim:
A solid-wall beverage receptacle fabricated of ceramic, glass, or medium to high-density plastic materials, comprising: a body forming a well having an open upper end and a closed lower end and a perimeter wall connecting said upper end and said lower end, said body having a first center of gravity, said well having a second center of gravity, said second center of gravity being offset from said first center of gravity, said perimeter wall having width progressively expanding to a point of maximal thickness, such that said point of maximal thickness provides maximum insulation, wherein said point of maximum thickness has longitudinally disposed a handle upon the exterior of said perimeter wall proximal to said point of maximal thickness and whereby said handle is symmetrically situated along the axis defined by said first center of gravity of the body and said second center of gravity of the well, thereby mitigating thermal transfer and torsional stress induced by the mass of said beverage receptacle.
