Can I see a picture of your favourite mug?

I love mugs, have started collecting them a few years ago and can never have enough. My favourite mug was a beautiful blue terracotta one I got from Greece years ago but it broke during a house move (still upsetting!). I am on a mission to find new ones to add to my collection.
Do you have different favourite ones for tea and coffee ?

@widelegenes the blue denby mug is my absolute favourite, I have one with a blue flower pattern that has seen me through numerous jobs and now lives at home. It's the perfect coffee mug.

It really is perfect

Errmm.... each to their own but you might not be able to get these out (!) if the vicar comes to tea.

Isn't it weird, most of these mugs make me positively shudder - wrong height, wrong colour, wrong shape.... I love the fact that we all have our favourites. Mugs are such a sensory delight and so easy to get wrong.
Here's mine:

I agree, I am also very particular about my mugs

This thread is wonderful 😂 mine is this one from Waitrose;
Nice feel to it weight wise, good size, smaller at the top so less likely to slosh (I’m clumsy!) and it feels nice, all smooth without being shiny… hard to describe! And it’s so pretty 😍

The thread on site stuff about suspected AI threads has now made me wonder if this thread is real. It has the flavour of a 'let's provoke a list of recommendations for commercial benefit'.

No I am a real person obsessed with mugs and pottery in general. I truly enjoy these types of posts! I prefer seeing pictures of your mugs at home as opposed to links

Nah, there have been many 'favourite mug' threads over the years

Yes but normally the OP replies and it is not as blatant as this one with requests for a picture which means a link in reality.

There are a bunch of these posts around and they do have the flavour of AI provocation for commercial purposes.

I am only just getting to reading comments and reply, I was at work this morning and asleep during the night… ;)

I have the big Iittala one in blue and love it.
I can't say I have a favourite, though; it changes all the time. I have a mug habit and have to watch myself in charity shops.
I can't stand mugs that are narrower at the top, tankard-style ones (so Emma Bridgewater is out, although I like a lot of her designs), ones on a little 'stand'/foot (don't know what to call it) and those ones with tiny and/or too-thin impractical handles.
I know the moment I pick up a mug whether or not I want it, from the shape and weight/feel.
I need different ones for black tea, herbal tea and coffee. For coffee I like a big mug with not much coffee in it at a time. If someone gives me a small mug and fills it to the brim with coffee my heart sinks.
Black teas have to be in china, not stoneware. Herbal teas I don't mind which.

I love threads like this. Thank you, OP. Here’s my favourite mug, though it is a seasonal one. It’s perfect:

@AntigoneFunn that’s my bathroom wallpaper, albeit in a different colour! Stunning in a mug too.

Me too!

I don't like stoneware, ceramic, anything heavy, tankard style, anything with a weird handle or anything thick. Bone china feels acceptable but I wouldn't buy it because of what it's made from.

I got half a dozen of these fine china mugs about a decade ago, in a couple of different designs. Sainsbury's were selling them off for £2 each because they were supposed to be seasonal.

Cheshire Cat from Asda… holds just the right amount of liquid. More than a normal mug but not so much I’m needing the loo every hour..!
