Oversized but not jumbo mugs. That look nice. Possibly earthenware. I just really want some nice new mugs

I'm really weirdly fussy about mugs. I like them to be a decent size but not ridiculous. If they look like they could fit a baby's head in them you've gone too far. Also not a fan of the really tall ones. See picture for probably my ideal shape although Whittards did a straight up and down one a few years ago with stars on that also gets a lot of time out of the cupboard. Just to complicate things, whilst the one in the picture is probably the perfect shape and size I don't really like the lace effect or colour at all, I'd much rather have some cool glazes or interesting patterns or something.

It shouldn't be this hard to find my perfect mug but the search goes on. Can anyone help? I'm going to try and treat myself for Christmas.

I've got a Le Creseut one which is almost perfect if it wasn't for the fact that it's just a tiny bit too short. And I've checked in Tk Maxx and Dunelm as they seem to be the usual suspects for excellent mugs but nothing so far (or maybe just very limited online). I haven't yet braved Etsy because I'm sure there'll be pages upon pages to trawl through but I am prepared to such is my need

Sophie Conran mugs might fit the bill if they are large enough.

Try nicholasmosse.com and search for their tall mugs. They're a bit on the expensive side but I have a couple given to me as gifts. Not sure how much shipping is to UK from Ireland, though. They might not be your style at all, but I love them.

I love cornishware,

I feel your pain. I'm looking for a plain red 15oz mug to replace one from Whittard. Impossible it seems.

Science says red is meant to make hot drinks taste better I recall.

It seems to jump from 12oz to 1 pint (20oz) too with most mugs being 10oz. Also why are they still in oz?!?

I know theyre slightly evil but I love Starbucks coffee mugs

Emma Bridgewater? I have one of her Chritmas series mugs and it's huge (for me).

I drink out of an IKEA glass pint mug. It's my trade mark at work. My colleagues think it's hilarious, as I drink really milky tea.

These any good?

We have big Denby and Royal Doulton mugs.

The Cath Kidston "Stanley" are large and really nice to drink from although I realise Cath Kidston designs are a little fussy and not to everyone's taste.

I've just ordered these for my DB for Christmas. I'm slightly fuming that I didn't expect them to do a Black Friday offer, I could have paid 20% less if I'd waited a week. Grin www.mudireland.com/product/xl-nimbus-mug-tankard/

We have the Dunoon mugs - Nevis shape - they hold just under 1/2 litre and are made of China

I love my PIP studio mugs at 350ml they're a decent capacity, nice fine china and a good shape. www.johnlewis.com/pip-studio-blushing-birds-large-mug-350ml-blue-multi/p5065373

Dunoon mugs are gorgeous in terms of shape designs and size but can be expensive for some people.

Temptation Gifts often have offers

BringMeTea · 27/11/2020 16:49

These are nice.

I agree with previous posters that Cairngorm and Nevis shapes are neither too big nor too small....in my case for milky lattes.
