I've been carrying on an infatuation with a coffee cup for what seems like forever... it's so perfect, so very, very asymmetrically perfect. It's by Iittala from the Ego line, and I can't get my mind off it. Pristine white porcelain designed by Stefan Lindfors of Finland, it has this lovely off center stance, balanced by a wideset handle that touches down lightly on the saucer. I could write it a poem, I love it so.
There's a stunning photo of it here (all gorgeously lit and romantic):

Poor chipped, wrong sized, rotten old mugs haven't got a chance of ever holding my affection when there's a cup like the Ego in the world. Only trouble is, good grief, they're spendy. $40 for one cup and saucer. One. My love remains unrequited.

When is your birthday? Have a birthday party for your friends and ONLY ask for a cup and saucer. You'll end up with the whole set!
