Post a picture of your favorite teacup!

I thought it would be fun to see what everyone’s favorite teacup or mug is and why!
Mine is this:

Jillian, that’s a very beautiful cup with such a stylish lid! And what a special gift!

Here is my favorite teacup. I don’t know why, but I always feel like to use it and use it much more than any other cups :D

Oh wow, is that a little row of birds, Jillian? Adorable!

Even though I recently bought a really nice pot and cup set for my charcoal roasted oolongs, they are almost exclusively brewed loose in my favorite heath mug

Mine’s in my allabouttheleaf.com profile:

http://www.itsallabouttheleaf.com/1077/tea-review-lochan-tea-harmutty-golden-paw-first-flush-2010/ (Scroll to the bottom of the review.)

Has the logo from Tea Club, a now-defunct (I believe) online comic with a very cuddly bear as one of the protagonists. Good and heavy, but chiefly it is precious to me because it’s the very first “to-Mom” Christmas gift my son ever chose for me and purchased with his own funds.

My favorite “cup” of is a champagne flute second is anything else glass… I don’t do mugs except for chai and the occasional matcha if I just want to stir it rather than whisking.

My favorite non glass tea cup that I known is not a cup at all, but rather my chawan.

The tea cup I’m coveting the most again isn’t a tea cup, it’s a mug. I want to devote it to chai.

My favorite?
It has to be my Finum Hot Glass System
http://www.harney.com/finum-Hot-Glass-System-holds-5oz/productinfo/00182/

I have the 5oz cup, but i just recently found out they make an 8oz-er. I might have to pick that up.
I love this system because it is all inclusive. No mess, and the best part no hot glass!

Funny it’s called a hot glass system when there is no hot glass.

meaning that the cup is not hot to the touch. It’s my favorite. Also the cups doubles for me as a cup to drink straight scotch out of. Just because of it’s size and shape.

Nice cups guys!
Oh I was a little surprised too that Jillian and Jillian are not the same person. People can have same steepster names?

Small
Ricky said 2010-12-04 14:10:19 -0500

Well, their Steepster names are different, but their nicknames are the same. If their name is really is Jillian who are we to tell them that’s not their name :D

It’s not a mug, but it is tea-related. It’s a porcelain teabag/spoon/etc holder. Made in Japan!

My favorite mug though is a simple white porcelain mug that I found for 2 euros in the Marais.
