Try a restaurant supply house for the cups (the same place where you get
those big rolling pins!). They have small Bakelite (nicer and stronger than
plastic) condiment dishes that restaurants use for serving salsa, sour
cream, etc. They are the right size, have nice, flat bottoms and a good,
firm rim for gluing to the tile. They come in white or black, and you'll
probably have to buy a case.
Are Ikebana tiles just hitting the East now? We've been selling them like
hotcakes out West for over a year---figure the bottom will drop out of the
market any day now!

I asked the same question about the cups a few weeks ago, and got no answers.
I buy the pins from
Bonnie Manufacturing and Sales
P.O. Box 53
Springville, PA 18844

They also have the cups, but they are not plastic and are what, I think, is
expensive. 2" runs $37.80/doz up to 5 3/4" for $19. each - Wow! I have been
happy with their service for the pins. I have never ordered the cups. I
still would like to find plastic ones at a cheaper price.

I STILL don't understand what we're talking about here.. Whats an Ikebana

Ikebana is a Japanese discipline of flower arranging. The containers are
usually rather simple containers with a floral "frog" (a metal plate with
short spikes in it for holding the stems). The clay in the ones I saw were
thin slabs about 8x6 with a round hole in them, under the holes were these
cups I described earlier. They were short about 1" high with a one half to
three quarter flange on them that was glued to the bottom of the slab.
This cup holds the frog.
