Ceramic Sunday: coffee cups.


My father bought this set of small coffee cups for me when I was a child and the gold-plated spoons were one of my parents' wedding presents, hardly ever used. Both he and I were attracted by the combination of bright jewel-like colours and gold interior. Just lately coffee has been off the menu for me, so annoying because a small cup of coffee (and a chocolate!) seem the perfect ending to a decent meal. I have used this little set often and with  a mixture of pleasure and amusement. They were bought when I was young and I think because Dad could not resist them so I was a good excuse!

  1. To receive a gift that is favored by both giver and recipient is very special. The story of the gifted cups is even lovelier because it is a love shared between father and daughter. Thank you for sharing.

    Oh my, I do hope you are allowed to return to your coffee and chocolate soon. A divine combination.

  2. Attractive set of coffee cups - I love the way you have captured the gleaming golden interiors with your camera. Hope you are now fully recovered from your cold following your trip.

  4. Those cupse are so unique and represent the lifestyle of that time.
    Isn't funny, how every cup as a unique colour?
    My grandparents had similar cups, now we celebrate sunday afternoon coffee at my parent's place with those cups.
    I love to choose the shade that suits my mood of the day.

    Maybe de-caff coffee would be an alternative to coffee?
