This may be the mug for me, holding a generous 12 ounces of my favorite tea (Trader Joe’s Mango Black Tea) with a pretty design around the outside of the rim and along the short pedestal base. I love the texture of the mug, and the pretty mosaic pattern on the inside. Choose from four colors: red, orange, yellow, or blue.

This gorgeous cup and saucer set matches the other sea-creature motif objects in the line, and features a swirling tentacle intent on cradling your cup. The saucer measures 6 inches across, and the cup holds boasts a suction-cupped handle. I love it! It’s so unique!

So pretty, so delicate, so perfect for gift-giving! A troop of fluttery butterflies flits across the cup, grazing on azaleas. It’s made of stoneware, much hardier than it looks, so it’s dishwasher and microwave safe.

I adore this collection, very elegant and graceful, inspired by vintage tea sets. The cup and saucer are white-washed and graceful, with ruffled edges and a singular Fleur de Lys. The set is stoneware and coordinates beautifully with the monogram collection, too.

Three brilliant colors, each adorning one tall, shapely mug with a stand-up pedestal and a roomy handle. Each mug holds 6 ounces, and measures 5 inches tall. I think the blue is the prettiest, but the orange and red are cheery and pretty, too!

Of all the tea cups and coffee mugs out there, in all of the trendy and over-priced shops, these are my favorites, all reasonably priced and so pretty, you won’t be able to decide whether to keep them or give them as gifts. Which of these mugs do you like best? And what do you prefer to put in them?
