Classic first world problem but my long quest to find the perfect tea mug is proving fruitless. Requirements are:
Does such a design exist?
• China or Porcelain (of course)
• Lager volume, but not bucket size
• Thick mug to hold temperature but tapering towards the top to a fine rim (to avoid slurping)This is the really critical bit for me
• Ergonomic handle in ‘harp’ type shape
• Nice manly design, no flowers.

best tea ever
Love the shape of that mug. This is going in the right direction. What sort of volume did it have.
Slightly concerned that it looks quite camp though!
11cm tall by about 8cm diameter.
110cm by 80cm
that is one big mug!
(is it not just a 55 gallon drum with a handle?)
🙂 man sized

You have described my favourite mug! I'll post a photo later 🙂
That's the campest looking mug I've ever seen...
Klunk - did you not buy another? They're only £5.75! I might buy one for myself and get MrsG to give it to me for Christmas.
Actually..... Just went to order one and standard delivery more than doubles its price! Maybe not, then 😕
Edit: Any first hand reviews of the STW mug?
Edit #2: Just checked and the tea mug is no longer listed. Ho hum.
harry potter quidditch mug from 2000. big handle for fat fingers and a tapered side so volume is large but not pint tankard sized.
BUT the smart thing about the taper means that the tea cools faster when its hot and then less as you drink it - awesome.
Yep, I want it tapered in shape.
I've got a STW coffee mug. Ideal except for the fact that is is fat round the brim. Okay for coffee but not tea. And the fact that the print work comes off in the dishwasher (on both the original and its replacement!)
The perfect mug is out there somewhere,......
I have one like this (only it's got a seascape rather than a puffin on it)

^^ Like it. 😆
(Still not as good as mine though, mug-wise)
you pansy-wearing, tea-drinking, whippet-worrying northerners are weird.
A mug is for coffee. A mug is a mug.
This one for me, but in the larger 'bucket' size.
It doesn't taper, then again I like a good, manly slurp now and again.

Coffee?
That muck Americans and Continentals drink?

Coffee?!
For ponces that
Hanks relay team ruffle?
yes, we do mugs but this is one i keep one in stock for printing special jobs and for ones i do for freinds, use it myself, i call them...
basically it holds 15oz so big enough for a decent brew but at the same time not comedy size. best bit is that its a nice heavy'ish pot, chunky'ish, again neither without being silly, really comforting to handle and hold as it holds heat.
i had a kidston cowboy before getting the mm ones in, the mm are better.
maybe i should demo mugs, damn, now there's a thing!!!

Really funny this should randomly come up now, was discussing it at the weekend. My search continues.
