death of china
There's a definite sadness when you kill your favourite mug, if you scroll back to the blog about kopi lewak coffee, you will see a pastoral scene: two mugs of coffee and a bowl of madeleines.Sadly both our favourite mugs have now departed, not as a result of moving house, just the usual fumblings. The arts correspondents mug still retains its functionality, but mine is no more. There is an implicit understanding when one buys a mug from a craftsman potter, that one is buying a relatively cheap functional artwork that is likely to have limited lifespan, doesn't make one any happier when your favourite has died.
If you are looking for lovely handmade mugs, mine came from the Whichford Pottery, the arts correspondents from the craft shop at the Welsh Assembly building. Current favourite mug for me is from the Cromarty Pottery, google is your friend.
