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 ☺️☺️☺️

@MWNA - thank you. I’ve dropped them an email.

@Greenfinch7 - that’s a beautiful mug. Have contacted them but as they’re in the US, they’re not stating that they ship internationally.

@CrowMate and @TheCompactPussycat That option could be option B 👍🏻

@StarCourt - that came up in an image search for me, but the mug isn’t listed or pictured on the company website anymore. I’ll drop them a line too…

Try posting in this Reddit group https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/s/oIokOmG8F3 . They are insanely good!

Hi op- I'm in the USA too! If I can, I'm going to buy the mug and get it to you by post, either from the USA or next time I'm in the UK

That is lovely. What is the minimum order you have found?

Oh God. I thought they were. <checks alcohol content of wine>

Have you asked the farm shop? They might remember where they got them.

Hope you find something suitable OP

It doesn't have to be the exact same one does it. As cup designs come and go.

Surely she would like one that is similar, and has stars.

I came here to say Vinted. My mum recently broke her dog’s food bowl (ceramic, nice pics on etc) and found one the next day on Vinted. It was like Santa came early!!

I have ordered the world market mugs, op, but if you don't want them I will keep them!

Anyone need 1000? The heart one is there if you click through.

OP is it the shape and thickness of the mug or the design that is most important? This one has cut out stars, but the shape of the mug is different!

There's a wider one in the second picture.

Had a long scroll through mugs on Facebook Marketplace but no luck.

Found this which is very similar in terms of shape; but it the hearts. It's out of stock unfortunately but might be worthwhile contacting the reseller to query this item if it's what you're looking for...

Ooh how? It says no international shipping.

I have this one. It's lovely. There's another one in the photo too but it's not available anywhere.

I'd be sad if my favourite mug broke and someone bought me one that was similar but not the same. Obviously I'd really appreciate the effort, but it just wouldn't be right as it would be the wrong weight, thickness etc and I'd have to pretend to be all happy about it even though I would still be missing my favourite mug. I feel oddly strongly about mugs 😂

I feel very over invested in this mug but have had no luck! Hope you find it for her.

Long shot but have you tried a FB group like ‘preloved to reloved’ or ‘the missing piece’ …
