“This stylish sugar and creamer set coordinates with the ‘Tea for Two’ Teapot set but can certainly compliment other china patterns. The porcelain sugar and creamer nestle together on a single saucer”

Set includes one creamer, one sugar, one saucer and one spoon.

Sugar and Creamer measure 3.7”h x 2.9”dia
Saucer measures 8.5”l x 4.8”w

What is better than a tiny, baseball sized, ceramic tea pot that comes with a strainer for your loose tea?

Origin: Japan

The rough cork lid is a nice contrast to the smooth lines of this sugar/creamer set.

“Different and distinctive, it is Ego’s design that sets it apart from the rest. Designed by Stefan Lindfors, Ego brings a modern perspective to the international coffee culture: a cup suitable for all coffee specialties. The unique design of the handle helps keep the cup steady both in the hand and on its saucer. Ego is also an impressive dinner service that has large (25 and 31cm in diameter) multi-purpose plates. They can be used, for example, as service plates, for pasta, salads or serving. All parts are oven, dishwasher and microwave safe. 7 oz.”

Why pour one cup of tea when you can pour two? This delicate tea set has a 64 oz pot with a double spout, two 8 oz teacups and one saucer.

Thanks Greg!

The way the saucers act as a lid is a definite benefit, and I especially like the spoon/stirrers. I think this would be a nice gift for someone that entertains…

I first read about this last year in METROPOLIS magazine, and knew it would be the perfect holiday gift for my good friend who drinks loose tea quite often. A few weeks into the new year, my friend confided that it was their favorite gift and that they use it everyday! For under $25, I don’t think you could go wrong if you have any tea drinkers on your gift list.

“The ultimate infuser for tea enthusiasts features intuitive “scoop-slide-steep” functionality while it reflects the aesthetic of traditional loose tea service. Durable enough for industrial use, it has no breakable mechanisms and is constructed entirely of 304L stainless steel with holes small enough to infuse the finest of teas. The innovative design provides optimum flow for perfect steeping and incorporates a fill-line. The Teastick fits nicely into glasses and mugs and is ideal for a 10-14 oz perfect cup of tea.”

My ever evolving taste buds now require a stronger cup of Joe, so in my search for the perfect brew, I discovered what all the fuss over french press coffee was about…flavor. My big, clunky coffee maker now has a permanent home deep in a bottom cabinet, while this sleek beauty rests atop my counter taking up precious little space. There are many presses to choose from, but most are glass, which doesn’t keep your coffee hot for very long. This stainless steel press is double-walled for insulation, keeping it hot for hours. With no need for electricity, simple use and superior taste, I highly recommend a change in your morning routine.

Two sizes available:
Small press, 4-cup (20-fl.-oz.) $49.95
Large press, 8-cup (40-fl.-oz.) $64.95

We’ve posted the regular crinkle cups before, but this is the first time I’ve seen the coffee mug set. These are fun, but in an understated way, which makes them a little bit smarter than the average mug…

Handmade in Japan of high quality porcelain with a matte satin glaze. Set of 2.

The silhouetted trees that encircle each By the Lake porcelain cup are mirrored in the platinum-plated surface of the matching saucer. What’s more, the miniature images change with the light and point of view: a tiny visual tempest in an exquisite teacup.

What a nice alternative to the ordinary paper cup and sleeve…

“The concept behind Warm, the contemporary set of teacups and teapots designed by Tony Alfström and Brian Keaney, should be immediately apparent to anyone who has used a paper collar with their coffee takeout. Here the collar is a bracelet of laminated wood, molded from oak or walnut, wrapped around a detachable ceramic container. The collar functions both as insulator and handle, and elevates the cup or pot high enough to preclude the need for a coaster. The cups are available in tea and coffee services…All ceramic parts are oven, microwave and dishwasher proof. ”

From one of Jonathan Adler’s earlier lines, the ‘Nelson’ line of pottery is based on the bubble lamps made by George Nelson. I really like how Adler can make ceramic look like it’s draped over a wire frame. It’s elegant.
