My sister gave me a ppd mug as a gift. It was such my favorite mug that I hand-washed it daily so I could use it every day. The mug feels perfect as I drink, the porcelain smooth against my lips, the rim not thick and clunky. I was heartbroken when I dropped and cracked it. No other mug felt the same. I had kept the original box the mug came in (the box is gorgeous, too!) so I was able to track down the manufacturer and order the exact same mug again. This time I also ordered the matching tea towel and napkins! Now I can enjoy my morning coffee again!
