Alma Fortune Cup & Saucer

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Dining

I'm not one to drink my tea out of a fancy cup and saucer, but some of them can be so pretty I can see how people end up collecting them -- if even just to display and never use. But regardless whether you want to actually sip from them or just look at them, these Alma Fortune Cups and Saucers would make a beautiful addition to any China cabinet. Kind of like reading tea leaves, the design is based on the Middle Eastern tradition called Tasseography (or the reading of a person's fortune in coffee grounds) but instead of grounds the fortune is forever captured in 22k gold. No two are alike. $95

The question is: do you find out what fortune you got?

The Ultimate Coffee Cup?

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Is this the ultimate coffee cup? Designer David Pier says so. He has designed this white porcelain cup and saucer to be the best around. The set is made from lead-free porcelain, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. The saucers also double as lids. What makes this mug different is that it has an undulating rim designed to fit the rim better and prevent spills. The oval body is meant to bring the center of gravity closer to the hand. I am not sure whether or not it is the ultimate coffee cup but the design has a certain fluid charm. It sells for $22 each (buy five and get the sixth free).

The Golden Collection with Gold Glaze

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Dining

The Golden Collection is a little too flashy to eat your cereal in or drink your OJ out of in the morning (unless maybe you're Donald Trump?), but might be nice for serving at a party. The collection includes only three pieces: the Hungry Bowl, the large Hungry Bowl, and the Big Thirsty Cup. With a pale matte finish on the outside and shiny bright gold glaze on the inside, the set is made in France and will definitely bring a feeling of warm richness and luxury to a table. Plus, you gotta love the names! Available individually, one of each will set you back a total of $242.

Hoffmann Coffee Cup

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

It looks like we have another item to add to our list of gifts for coffee lovers, or at least for people on the look out for expensive coffee cups because the Hoffmann Coffee Cup is one of the most expensive that we've seen. For a single cup, this runs $334.16. The design, which is down in gold and is precisely symmetrical, was inspired by Josef Hoffmann, one of the founders of Augarten Porcelain in Vienna, and is actually done on a cup that is a Hoffmann design.

Midas Touch Cups

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

The design of the Midas Touch Cups is a part of the "Craft-Industry" collection from designer Marek Cecula. Apparently, the idea is to combine industrial products with more delicate ceramics. And although a gilded saucer doesn't exactly seem like an "industrial product," it does make for a very unusual and attractive set for serving coffee. The porcelain cup holds 15ml of liquid and is probably microwave safe, although we really recommend leaving the saucer aside when heating. Price, for a pair: $150 .

Hargreave Carafe with Glass

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Carafes, like decanters, are usually items that are sold separately from the glass ware that they will be used with, but the Hargreave Carafe not only comes with a matching glass, but the two actually fit together. This makes a lovely presentation at the breakfast table, where you can put out an individual carafe for each guest to pour from, and makes it easy to store whatever is left over, since it is easily covered by the (cleaned) cup to prevent anything unwanted from drifting into the container. The carafes are made in Denmark and come in lime, blue and pink. Price: $220.

Geo Espresso Cups

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Perhaps I shouldn't go so far as to say that coordinating dinnerware is overrated, but these Geo Espresso Cups are definitely more visually appealing than the average matched set. The four white porcelain cup and saucer pairs all feature a different geometric design that has been adapted in to cup form. While you can use them to serve espresso, they would also make great individual servings of creme brulees or tiny pot de creme at a holiday dinner party. Price: £55.

Kate Spade Larabee Road Cups and Saucers

Filed under: Dining

Kate Spade's Larabee Road pattern, which covers this After Dinner Cup and Saucer Set, seems guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of anyone served with one. Sold in a set of four with red, yellow green and pink polka dots, the pieces have a sense of fun about them that is not often found in after-dinner cups, a typically staid delineation of the tableware world. Use them for cappuccinos or tea, or bring them out with a breakfast service for coffee and scones. The set is also available in a bright stripe pattern. Price: $75.
