Alma Fortune Cup & Saucer

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?

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 .

Geo Espresso Cups

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.
