Tea

Noor said:
These are the cups and saucer that came with my china but I think they are really coffee cups.

I can't remember my training regarding such things. I know there are tea cups, coffee cup and chocolate cups. I have some other china, and some stone ware, going to check them.

Traditionally coffee cups are smaller than tea cups and chocolate cups are almost bowls.

I thing this one is actually a tea cup but I only have maybe enough for 4 of this
 
I have a set of these only in white with silver, which seems to stay on even through the dish washer. I suspect these are coffee cups because they came with a coffee pot. I have always wanted a chocolate pot. I like to pretend the coffee pot of this one is a chocolate one. I am not particularly attached to these, they are nice and cool tea nicely but no sentimental value. When my friends who are kind of clumsy come to tea I use them. If one breaks no big deal ;)

two ounces smaller to be exact. i've been drink my tea out of a coffee cup lately. it's not a bad thing. it's just a slightly smaller, slightly darker drink.

Now I have to go measure the capacity of various cups ;)

I have noticed that modern china has bigger plates, I wonder if they bigger cups as well. One of the reasons I was given my dishwasher was that it only holds plates up to 10.5 inches in diameter and my friends' were larger than that.
 
At one time Darjeeling was easily my favorite tea. First tried it in a funky little place called Sancho Panza's in Monterey, California, years ago when I was in the military at DLIWC. But one reason I liked it so much then was the smell from several cups of it wafting up around a candlelit chess board provided by the house. Don't think I can recreate that ambiance today, but I should probably buy some anyway, for old times' sake.
 
I have two hand-thrown mugs, decorated with drippy glaze which reminds me quite a bit of bread mold if I actually spend much time looking at them closely, made by someone I know. His signature on the bottom reminds me of someone else so they're doubly dear to me.

Oh, and my favorite niece gave them to me so that makes them triply dear, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

Pottery, particularly made by someone you know, is special.
