A Nice Cup of Tea

Several people have recently posted pictures of their favorite teacup or coffee mug.
This might seem trivial but I think teacup choices reveal all sorts of things. 
And I enjoy little glimpses into private worlds.
If my  favorite mug is in the dishwasher waiting,  I get it out and rinse it.
(What a thrilling life I lead.)
People who simply don't care -- or go with a paper cup  -- are missing something. 

So:  Villeroy and Boch Audun/ Ferme.
Bone china. PG Tips.
Images of an 18th century farm in France. 
I know, I know. Real life for farm workers must have been grim and grueling - chapped hands, bitter winds.
It's just the idea of cows, sheep and milkmaids.
Shades of the Petit Trianon.
Your favorite mug?
