My favorite mug got broken :(

[MoodyBlues]

I found my favorite latte mug in the kitchen trash...broken. My helper has some splainin' to do.

It's part of a set that I've had for 20(?) years.

I've done a cursory search online based on its manufacturer (still in business), and other info from its bottom. I took pictures of it, too.

If you're bored one day and feel like doing some sleuthing, here's its info:

I'd be thrilled to find one, but if anyone turns up a set, I'd happily take it.

Let me be the first to say it:

Made in China, not of china.

Try Ebay?

Sorry to hear that MoodyBlues. It most definitely is a nice mug. I can see why its your favorite. fortunately, it wasn't the handle or the top rim that broke.

That's it! That's definitely it, @tommo47, great sleuthing!

However...when I follow its 'buy this on eBay' link, it's not there, just several other, unrelated items. But you've given me hope.

How are you feeling? How are you doing with things like appetite, energy, stamina, etc.? I hope you're doing great.

Yep. Well, it says it's stoneware.

Try Ebay?

I did. I mean I ended up there via various searches; I haven't yet searched eBay itself.

I did wonder if it was historic. In the UK we have various second-hand market places, eg Shpock, Preloved and Gumtree where you can buy and sell almost anything. My wife is a Shpock addict!! I think you have Gumtree but the other two may be Europe/UK only or you may have something similar - good luck with your search anyway .

How are you feeling? How are you doing with things like appetite, energy, stamina, etc.? I hope you're doing great.

I can't say I'm 'doing great' just yet , I think 'making slow but steady progress' fits the bill . I'm coming to terms with having to take things really carefully and getting used to nutrition packed but not very appetising supplements to increase my calorie intake.

I've got the Ultrasound scan next Monday, after which, hopefully, we will have a much better idea what the treatment path will be .

Hi @MoodyBlues,

If you haven't got this info yet, I thought you might find it useful, particularly the Customer Service contact :-

 

[MoodyBlues]

Thanks for the update, @tommo47. You're making progress, and that's good. Slow and steady sounds just about right for now.

Please keep us posted as to your treatment plan, and how you're doing in general.

Oh, thanks for the contact info. I had come across their site yesterday (that's how I found they're still in business), but haven't contacted them yet. From perusing the site, I didn't get the sense they carry replacement stock, but hopefully they can direct me.

Sorry to read about your mug hopefully you will be able to get a replacement soon

Aw, shoot! Thanks--and thanks for reminding me, because I forgot all about it: I found replacements!--yep, I got TWO. They're safely tucked away where they won't get broken--or used, but that's okay.

Thanks again. I love happy endings!

I'm not sure that qualifies as a mug @MoodyBlues except for the handle.

Okay, I'll bite! WHY doesn't it qualify as a mug?

It's called a latte mug, as are all similarly shaped m...whatever...so what's the deal?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Latte.
I think of a mug as a barrel shaped drinking tool. Germanic somehow. A fluted glass is just a glass even if it has a handle on it.
