coffee mug

topic posted Mon, May 24, 2004 - 7:54 AM by  lobocita
my most important vessel is my coffee mug. sadly, I recently dropped my all-time favorite coffee mug, and it shattered. Now I am searching for an exact reproduction... something with the same size, weight, ceramic thickness at the lips, the handle.. coloring is important too. I don't think I can drink my coffee out of a yellow mug.

Alas, I cannot seem to find it. I am like Goldilocks, looking for one that is "Just Right"... Somedays, I am so exasperated by the mug selection at home, that I go out for coffee. That is a sad day when I prefer to drink out of a paper cup than at home, in my pajamas, with a hot steamy mug of home brew...

    you know i can relate.

    i made my own really heavy mug once in a ceramics class at the craft and folk art museum in los angeles

    and now my exboyfriend has it on his desk and uses it for his pencils!

    nooooooo. he took that from me without asking!

      good news! i am sitting her with a new mug that i am trying out for this first time this morning... it seems to be the right thickness, the right weight,... the handle is a little off, and the design is horrible, but a girl could come to appreciate the good qualities and ignore the poor qualities... that is, until Mr. Right Mug comes along!
