Cup or Mug?

I am pernickety when it comes to choosing a drinking vessel. I have spring cleaned the pantry and found some of the cups and mugs which have been tried and rejected over the years.This is but a small selection...
Shape, size and colour are all important.I favour fine bone china for when I drink tea.I don't like fancy, frilly edges, square shapes or, horror of horrors, cups with dark coloured interiors.I like pretty cups or mugs, not too big, with the correct amount of curve to the bowl.
Coffee demands something different.I prefer a cup, not too large, as I would rather have two small coffeesthan one large one...I like my coffee hot!
This is my all-time favourite coffee cup.I bought it years ago, in a sale.It is thick china, very plain and quite small.It has the most satisfying shape to it,and, somehow, it just enhances my coffee drinking experience.
Do you have a favourite mug or cup?

- Lynne, this is for you...



...my favourite tea vessels. They are very fine bone china, the transfer design

is wearing off them, but the shape is satisfying

and the size is perfect (for me).

They used to be beautiful but about one third of the design is missing.

They have held countless gallons of tea.
