Do you have a favourite vessel that you like to drink coffee/tea/water/alcoholic beverages from? I’m very fond of a few of mine, particularly my coffee mugs/cups.
This is a mug I bought on sale from the NYT online store. It’s porcelain, apparently handmade in Nagoya. I love the feel of it and on my days off, I make an Americano to drink from it while I play Wordle, Connections and Spelling Bee on the NYT games app.
Is this topic about food? If so, could the @moderator-team please move to the correct section 
?
I think you posted in the correct category (unless there’s a dish ware one I’m missing).
We have quite a collection of coffee mugs, and I have a few favorites. Will take a pic once I get out of bed 
I do have a favorite wooden spoon for cooking, and I used to have a favorite tasting spoon (just a simple teaspoon) that seems to have walked out of the house a year or so ago. SADZ.
Other threads like this are under Cookware — I guess because there isn’t a dishes / serving things category (@moderator-team).
ETA: The drinks folks also have wine glasses, Nick and Noras, etc under the Drinks category.
Here are a few (first is probably what you were going for here @medgirl):
We also have a couple of gorgeous martini glasses I’m happy to share.
I had a favorite coffee mug for about 40 years, although I quit drinking coffee about 12 years ago. My first duty station had a cabinet full of abandoned coffee cups and i adopted it.
Fatter bottom than top, but only by about 15%, nice tan-ish cream color with rust-colored accent rings just under the rim and just above the bottom.
About 6 months ago my thumb-fingered son bobbled it on the counter and it got a full-depth crack at the bottom & a slow leak.
So I gave it last last rites, played taps on my thumb bugle, and sent it off into the vast hereinafter.
I have no special mugs or glasses, although I do use a Christmas Cat mug I was gifted years ago for my hot cocoa around Christmastime. 
But I collect old wooden spoons and use a LOT of them. But yes - I have favorites as well. Those are kept in a blue enamelware milk canister next to my stove. The rest are on display in my dining room. (These are older pictures - please ignore the grease splatters…and I think I’ve got at least 5 more on display, and YES, I know it’s an illness!)
These are my favourite mugs these days.
From a chain of coffee shops in Toronto. I had bought it for a friend named Jimmy, then I started using it. Lol
This 20 ounce mug, that my cousin gave me in 2020. I think it was for my birthday. The Calamityware company is based in Pittsburgh. The mug was made in Poland.
I don’t currently have a favourite cup or glass.
I have several wooden spoons, but I only ever use The One 
I also use the same metal spoons to toss my salad, despite having two other pairs.
My Mom used to laugh after I’d gone antiquing and she’d ask “Did you get another wooden spoon?” and I’d say “Ummm…maybe? But it’s REALLY cool!”
I got this mug as a parting gift from my old colleagues (who look pretty damn young here — at least those whose faces weren’t lost to scrubby sponges 
) when I left my job at Fulbright.
These two were thrift store scores at the Philly AIDS thrift store.
I’d gotten two of the kitty mugs — one for each of us, but one broke, unfortunately 
And finally, our kickass martini glasses:
The blue spiral ones are also from the Philly thrift store, the one on the left was a Berlin purchase 
I love handmade pottery. These are my 2 favorites. The one on the left-hand side is from a Maine potter (Ayumi Horie); the illustrations are her kid’s and they are gold-leafed.
The one on the right-hand side is from my kid when he was a wee one and created this at a paint your pottery class as a birthday gift to me one year. It’s a monkey.
I’m supposed to be packing… Leaving in a few hours, but I’m procrastinating.
I use old cracked mugs as pencil/pen holders. Did you repurpose yours?
I have some favourite stirring implements but they are all silicone ones. Not as full of character as your wooden spoons!
Love the martini glass from Berlin - very art deco.
I really wanted to get some coffee glasses in Hanoi which were branded with the shop’s name. One was Lam Coffee and one was Nhan Dan, which is a leading national newspaper with a cool coffee shop attached.
Didn’t get a photo of the Nhan Dan one. At both places the staff were completely bemused by my request and wouldn’t sell me a glass, even though I offered a really good price in cash!
Thanks for sharing a photo of your handmade mugs! My kid never made a craft piece like that but I can see how it would become something with real sentimental value and completely one of a kind. My niece made me a sofa cushion that I use everyday.
Many of mine predate me, making us both antiques!
