Most of our current mugs are almost 15 years old and, those that are left, are bearing various scars. There also aren’t that many left so I am thinking of getting some new ones before Christmas as I can’t see visiting relatives being delighted to find out that there is a rota in place for having a hot drink! The problem is, what to replace them with!
I love the look of Emma Bridgewater mugs and could easily buy 20 or so her designs tomorrow but there’s the fundamental that I find them too chunky to drink tea or black coffee from. We have had two of the half pint mugs for well over a decade but they are some of the least used. Languishing along side them are the Le Creuset ones which suffer from a similar issue.
What other options are there? I like the shape of the Wrendale ones but not the pattern. The Eleanor Bowman ones are a bit small and too out there for us. We don’t want anything with a cow or cockerppo on it. Or anything blue or grey (as the kitchen is a blue & grey free zone).
