Broken my favourite mug, any classy recommendations?

[ChittyBangabang]

Dropped my beautiful anthropology mug so looking for a beautiful replacement. Something striking, arty and beautiful.

Any suggestions anyone?

Links and pictures encouraged

Looking to buy one asap as I'm mugless

@icebearforpresident Flentl et veritas 😀 I have one too from the live podcast at Hammersmith

@Scylla i can’t find a gif of The Signal so just imagine I’m doing it!

I never managed to get to any of the live shows when they were here, they were always the best episodes though.

I think we need a collective afternoon tea now

Would any of these e suitable?

Far too small but the Nutcracker is one of my favourite ballets so I love this:

This is my favourite one but mine’s in blue. Gorgeous.

Am I the only person who thinks that it's positively unnatural to ask for mug recommendations and not specify whether you want bone china/porcelain or stoneware? They fill such different niches. It's like asking someone to recommend a garment for your bottom half and not saying whether you want trousers or a skirt.

very true. For me, tea really needs to be in china, but coffee can be more flexible. And I reserve the right to change my mind depending on the mug in question!

Ooh I love this stuff. I have a couple of jugs for gravy / custard, and they’re the juggiest jugs I’ve ever had.

Yay - another Iittala Taika lover!

I love Dunoon mugs, they are porcelain

I LOVE the Nutcracker one, but yes, too small.

I have 4 dunoon bute mugs which I adore. They're fine bone China and were on offer from the Temptation Gifts website.

I also always have a couple of Denby mugs on the go. I love their glazes and they are so nice to hold (but tea loses heat quicker in these)

For me the choice of mug depends on the season, my mood and the time of day. 😁

Me too! but we’re on a mug embargo at the moment 😱😂

So are we, but I'm off to 'accidentally' drop a couple of husbands silly ones 😂

Me too. I love Cosmo China. I recently got a great King Charles Coronation tea bag dish and I only use mugs from there

Some beautiful mugs on here.

I have way too many but this thread is making me reconsider lol.

Davros - Oh yes, I loved their coronation stuff, especially the ones that looked like they were from the 17th century.

Chittybangabang - I love the idea of afternoon tea!

This thread has made me wonder if there is a mug index, like the lipstick index whereby lipstick sells even in a recession because it is an affordable treat. There are lots of different types of mug here and we all have our preferences in terms of size, what they're made of, and design but what they all have in common is that they make us feel better when we use them.

Tkmaxx have some nice bits, nice and cheap too.

Did you know that Josie Firmin, one of the founders of cosmo china, is the daughter of Peter Firmin, who, with Oliver Postgate, created Bagpuss, Noggin the Nog, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine etc?

We had a commission from Charlotte Firmin, her sister, one of their artists - it’s lovely. And one of their other sisters, Emily, is the Emily of Bagpuss fame.

Makes me love it even more ❤️❤️

I have this mug https://www.glassette.com/products/101113-jade-pink-hug-mug and a similar one, just different colours. I adore them. They are the perfect size, weight, handle etc.

They were £30 each which is obviously a massive splurge. I have decided Nice Mugs are my Thing, as I have pretty much everything else I could possibly want.

I’m currently coveting this new cocoa mug from Emma Bridgewater to add to my collection, only without the personalisation.

My friend just told me this evening about Asda doing guinea pig mugs. Very cute.

I love my mug with my initial on it from here/ yvonneellen.com/collections/alphabet-mugs

What is this rootle? Is it like a poodle? Early morning and thinking I've found the best word ever.

Talipesmum I did! At one point they had some Peter Firmin prints and postcards in the shop. They are a very talented family. I love the way Cosmo do commissions. A friend often buys a personalised plate as a wedding present. Lovely!
