Help me find this mug? 😭

My sister has been collecting mugs for years while she’s been saving for a house, she’s finally brought a house and just dropped her box of mugs out of the attic. She particularly loves this black speckled cat shaped mug. It’s years old and I can’t remember where it’s from, does anyone recognise it?!

Help me find this mug? 😭

@ShowOfHands oh my god you’re amazing! It’s out of stock but at least I know where I got it from (I brought it as a gift years ago) and can keep an eye on Vinted/eBay and hope it comes up 😭

I really hope you find it. I can't find one 2nd hand ATM.

I broke a mug in a house move years ago and it had been given to my sil who had subsequently died. I was devastated. A wonderful MNer had one in the back of her cupboard and sent it to me. I will never, ever forget her kindness.

Have you tried Etsy? I found an old China collectible on there which is the last place I thought I’d find it.worth a try?

I was able to find a replacement favorite mug from ebay- it was actually a lot of 3 so I can break two more and still have one! Etsy is a good place to look as well.

Thanks all! Ah I didn’t think to try Etsy, I had the impression that was just for people who make their own stuff? Off for a look now!

It's bought not brought. For both houses and mugs.

Etsy is for handmade and vintage, but they are so lax on this it's practically Amazon.

Tbf that is a gorgeous mug 😭

@ProvisionsOnTheDock Whoops, that would be my bad grammar. Did you have any comments on the mug though?

You could photos of the others, perhaps someone will have spares.

You might already have done this but have you done the clever google image search. I found a 2 year old dress I wanted on a second hand sight but doing a search for the image

Duchessofmuchness · 23/10/2023 11:24

It was called Google lens. I have iPhone and it's one of the options on photo to "search with Google lens." Basically comes up with hits for the item on web.

I also used it to search for an out of stock ikea cupboard a couple of years ago
