So, fuddling cups.

Wikipedia says “A fuddling cup is a three-dimensional puzzle in the form of a drinking vessel, made of three or more cups or jugs all linked together by holes and tubes. The challenge of the puzzle is to drink from the vessel in such a way that the beverage does not spill. To do this successfully, the cups must be drunk from in a specific order.”

Since I am juxtaposing fibre and clay, I began researching whether there was a vessel whose form communicated the concept of pushing together disparate things. And I found fuddling cups.
