I want some nice mugs

43 replies

StillMedusa · 09/03/2021 23:37

DD2 has just (finally... ) moved into her own home this week, and once all her nice mugs had gone I realised I only have old/chipped/naff ones left.
I just want a set or two of nice, decent sized mugs.. don't really have a colour scheme in mind.. hers were a mix of pretty ones, wedding gift ones etc!
Any recommendations?!

I love my Emma Bridgewater ones. They are beautiful and hard wearing. I collect the bird ones only and am a bit obsessive (no other mugs allowed in house) but there are loads of other lovely designs. I often buy ‘seconds’ as they are cheaper and 9/10 I can’t figure out why they are seconds at all as the fault is so tiny.

They get discontinued after a time so I pick up older ones on EBay, always in great condition.

Le creuset ones are pretty. Tkmaxx often have them, when you can get to one.

Another Emma Bridgewater fan here, but I prefer to have lots of different patterns. I also buy seconds and sales. They’re beautiful, and practical.

Le Creuset

Lochmorlich · 10/03/2021 06:47

Love my Cath Kidston mug. Dh complains though,says it's the size of a bucket!

IWantMyHoney · 10/03/2021 06:49

I saw some lovely ones in morrisons yesterday. I was tempted but don't have any room in my cupboard.

Homeschoolsoutforsummer · 10/03/2021 06:50

I love Eleanor bowmer ones- bright modern everyone comments on them!

RosaBaby2 · 10/03/2021 06:52

Emma Bridgewater, all our crockery is EB and it's fabulous. It's all mismatched but still looks great together!

MrTumbleTumble · 10/03/2021 06:55

Another one who loves the Le Creuset mugs. They look nice, come in lots of different colours, are the perfect size / thickness to feel cozy. If I could afford it I'd be throwing away all my mugs and replacing them with Le Creuset! They do a nice teapot too.

I got a selection from Pylones. Hard wearing and go in the dishwasher. If you click on the mug there's a selection of patterns and they're lovely vivid colours. www.pylones.com/en/mug/1384_8502_gift-stylish-mug-schluck-jardin-fleuri.html

We have various McLagan Smith designs.

CarlottaValdez · 10/03/2021 06:58

We’ve got Le Creuset ones - I’m really fond of them. They’re nice and thick and the colours are good.

yearinyearout · 10/03/2021 07:01

Sainsburys have some lovely habitat mugs

Sprig1 · 10/03/2021 07:05

Morrisons do some lovely bone China bird mugs.

Denby always

Portmeirion. They have some lovely ones

fairislecable · 10/03/2021 10:02

Seconding Dunoon they are fine porcelain ( I hate a thick rim). You can choose size, shape and design.

It’s like having a bespoke mug and the designs don’t fade in the dishwasher.

Treat yourself to a couple and then add to them (or suggest them as gifts from family).

TolpuddleFarter · 10/03/2021 10:03

I love my Le Creuset mugs, and they come in lots of great colours.

partyatthepalace · 10/03/2021 10:12

I like the medium sized Emma B ones, Whittards also had some cheaper Alice in Wonder land ones if you like that sort of thing. Kew Gardens also often sell nice ones.
