Teacup of the day: the companion to my first teacup of the day. Made by the same potter, but I bought this one a year later while visiting my mom and family in Nashville. With every cup I share, I think—oh THIS one is my favorite. Guess they’re all favorites 🥰 #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #ceramics https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYS-GZFtIQ/?igshid=158azgvoqfn37

Teacup of the day: this is another one my mom gave me. I absolutely adore this crow, the technique, and everything about it. Tea of the day: Wild cherry black. #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #teaoftheday #pottery https://www.instagram.com/p/B_LDvGolH7O/?igshid=1bcwqqm6agsr1

Teacup of the day: This is probably the most expensive mug I’ve ever purchased for myself, and at the time I felt like I was being unreasonably self-indulgent, but I’m so glad I did. I think it was $35-ish. I bought it 12 or so years ago at a gallery in Nashville where my mom and stepdad’s art was hung. I’ve always loved this type of glaze that looks like frost flowers, and I love the shape and size and colors of this mug. It’s in competition for best favorite. #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #ceramics #nashville https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0XNZClfG3/?igshid=1f7492knskn31

Teacup of the day: This is one of a set of four mugs and plates given to me by my dad’s best friend from MIT, Andy, and his wife Sally. I was named for Andy (middle name) and have always felt Andy and Sally were family. He’s a radio astronomer and musician, she’s a professional flautist and harpsichordist. These mugs (and their plates) make me feel warm and loved every time I use them. Today’s tea, the next to last bag of delicious Japanese apple tea (flavored black tea)—I need to investigate how I can get more. #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #tea #japanesetea https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fmowKFhhq/?igshid=1iosp11x0g9l

Teacup of the day: my good friends Goh and Noriko gave me this mug right before they moved back to Japan from Palo Alto, in the 90s. It was one of theirs they’d served me tea in, and when they realized I loved Hello Kitty, they insisted I keep it. It’s one of my precious favorites. They split their time between Tokyo and Oregon now, so once we can travel freely again, I hope to get together for tea and laughter #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #hellokitty #japanese #friendship #spanningtheglobe https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dCOqPloO1/?igshid=1tdenkxlydph6

Teacup of the day: super apt today, sadly. I bought this at an art fair when the first Bush was president. #teacupoftheday #teacup #mug #dontdrinkbleach #really #dont https://www.instagram.com/p/B_X7eDwFjj6/?igshid=t9v54ydur3a

Teacup of the day: I’ve been saving this one because I love it so. This was my mom’s mug, and every time I visited I chose it as my mug for the week. On one visit my mom finally said “why don’t you take it home?” I said I couldn’t, and she said I could, she was the mom and she said so. So it became my mug. My precious, save it for days when you’re feeling down, always cheers me, teacup. Mom said the potter told her the glaze is toxic in some way, so not to let hot drinks linger in it. I don’t remember if it was lead or some other heavy metal, or what, but I am always careful not to poison myself with my tea. #teacupoftheday #mug #teacup #preciousthings #toxicglaze #ceramics https://www.instagram.com/p/CANzKseFzuz/?igshid=vm00en4lu98g
