Favorite Coffee Mug(s)

I have seen a number of posts about myLotters' favorite mugs and have been in a quandary about choosing my own favorite. The thing is, I really like all the mugs in the photo a lot and, being a bit compulsive, I actually rotate through them each week, depending upon which one is in the dish washer that day. Not only that, but I keep the mug and reuse it through the day, even if I switch to tea in the afternoon. I have had all these mugs for over twenty years and they and I have gone through several moves and more than one relationship, they without even a chip, though I have had a few. The two on the right were made by local potters. I will add that I never drink wine from these mugs.

Your mugs are beautiful. All my mugs and crystal glasses have traveled from Italy to France, then from France to Switzerland and no one has been broken or chipped.

That is quite a feat, but I am sure that you are very careful with packing.

@JamesHxstatic Yes, I packaged all my dishes, mugs and glasses myself. I even brought some mugs from the United States (put inside our suitcase), they survived the International flight.

@youless I am not sure how the four on the left were made, but the other two were definitely done locally.

Love your mugs and can't believe you've had then for over twenty years. I especially like the pottery ones as they remind me of something Native American

There are many fine potters around Eugene.

The pottery mugs are beautiful. I like the design of the others too. I always use the same cup throughout the day. Saves on dishes.

I really like those too and have almost bought additional sets over the years because of the interesting shapes and colors.

They are made in many shapes and really nice glazes. I keep looking at them when we are at the coast and visit the shop that sells them.

Knock on wood that they stay that way.
