Desperately searching for a certain mug for DM (aged 83)

[Ohyeahwaitaminute]

DM has broken her favourite mug and wants a replacement for Christmas… I have searched EVERYWHERE for a replacement and after a google image search, can only find it sold on a wholesale basis. Urgh!

At the age of 83, she really doesn’t want a lot…and I’m so desperate to find one…or even two.

The wholesale places won’t send me a sample and want a 10,000 piece minimum order… Urgh again.

I originally bought it from a gifty kind of farm shop in Shropshire years ago but I cannot - for the life of me - find ones to purchase online in ones or twos….

so, in desperation I thought I’d ask if the power of MN (which is spread far and wide) could keep an eye out during their Christmas shopping endeavours and if you see any for sale to let me know.

They’re porcelain with clear glazed stars. Think they also come in a hearts version which would be fine too. About 10cm high and 8cm diameter (roughly).

Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

i don’t OP sorry but it’s nice mug , hope you find one

Not identical, but similar:

The stars look like holes but obviously they can't be 😂😂

Ebay?

I wonder if the wholesaler would give you the names of any companies they supply to who you could buy it off?

Not exact but might be close enough.

Just keeping this bumped for you and wishing you luck. If she's anything like me it'll be the exact thickness, weight etc that she likes so a substitute is unlikely to work.

It might be worth keeping an eye on Vinted. So frustrating! I'm going to Cambridge this week for Xmas shopping so I will take a picture with me.

I thought so too, makes me feel a bit peculiar

Yer I have a thing for holes 😬😬

Could you ask a potter to make one?

Probably not else you'd have posted it but is there any info on the base of the mug?

I thought that 🙄

any good?

How does the tea stay in though?

The holes are not holes! They have transparent material in them.

I have a similar one made by Shruti.

Thanks for your help so far! Much appreciated ☺️. I’ll investigate the options.

For explanation, it’s a mug that’s obviously had the stars punched into the porcelain, and then it must be dipped in a clear glaze which then ‘fills’ the starry holes so it can hold liquid.

Every gift shop I come across, I get my photos out and ask them!

It would be soooo helpful to have a nationwide web of MNetters on the lookout.

If they’re making them on a wholesale basis…. Some retailers must be buying them… Just got to find them 😉

What is the make? What does it say on the bottom?

Nothing on the bottom ☹️

Any good? It is enormous though!

Can you add a link for the wholesale ones?

Would this be close enough
Very similar shape (go through pics).

This one? Much better size!

Any good? Not the one, but might be lovely
