SOS PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS MUG

Hello Mumsnet

Imagine if you will, the perfect tea cup. I like to drink a ridiculous amount of tea at a time: this mug holds 500ml. I hate the feeling of "too much mug" in my mouth: this has a thin rim. I actually (weirdly) like my tea to get cooler, quicker - so you can drink it faster - this has a wide circumference so allows just this.

All this and more I found in the attached Cath Kidston cup. I think it originally came with a matching saucer, about 12 years ago. As you can see, it's chipped and needs replacing. I've scoured Vinted and eBay but can't find the same one. Can anyone help?!!

I can't really help but I got one about the same size (not CK) with a saucer in a charity shop so that might be a place to look.

Can't help but I agree with your requirements.
I drink much more tea if I have a thin, pretty teacup rather than a mug!

Is this it? Described as "in lovely condition no chips or cracks".

URL is stupidly long, so go to ebay uk and look for "Cath Kidston China Large Breakfast Mug Cup Saucer Set Vintage Strawberry Print". It's £16.84 + £4.00 postage.

One has just been sold on eBay. Am hoping it was you 😁

One cup and saucer just sold on ebay a few minutes ago, hope that was you. You may just need to keep watching ebay seems like they come up sometimes.

Edit: crossed with post above, great minds!

I like my tea EXACTLY the same as you do OP.

Wishiwas24again · 15/02/2025 14:32

There are people who want wider drinking vessels so the beverage cools quicker?

THANK YOU EVERYONE. I have purchased the sacred vessel and will let you know if it's right...

And haha yes, I like my tea to cool fast but only to PDT (perfect drinking temperature). Then I guzzle relatively quickly and probably think about the next one.

I also only like skimmed milk in tea because I feel that's the only way I actually taste my tea... It's all a very specific and mad ritual. Thank you for indulging me xx
