For Sale: Vintage MCM Holt Howard 12-Piece Coffee/Tea Set - $49.99






Here is a fantastic coffee set from Holt-Howard!

This 12-piece coffee set includes 6 gorgeous coffee cups and 6 matching saucers.  The cups are done with a deep, dark black glaze exterior, and an eye-popping chartreuse interior.  

The matching saucers are done with the same black glaze on the underside (with an unglazed, bare white ring) and top edge, with the center of the top in the same chartreuse glaze.    

Each mug has a subtle flare at the bottom for a bit more visual interest.

Tea? Yeah...tea.

The weather is starting to get a bit nippy.  It's maybe low 60's outside right now but it feels quite a bit chillier.  And we're expecting a low of about 49 degrees tonight.

So maybe that's why I've been drinking like a gajillion (or is that gazillion?) cups of hot tea today?

First of all, you need to understand that as an American, I don't "do tea"...I drink it like a frat boy drinks cheap beer.

For example, here's my "tea cup":

Dainty, ain't it?


It's a vintage mug from Frankoma Pottery.  I have a lot of their pieces and I came across this piece for like $3 many, many moons ago.  And I've been using it ever since.

As you can see, it holds approximately 87 gallons (or 89,950 liters if my math is correct).  So a full cup should go a long way.

But...no...it doesn't.

I've been drinking a lot of tea today.  But at least I have some interesting teas.


(please note:  I am not a tea purist, and I don't have a lot of exposure to different unique teas.  If you want to recommend some for me to try, I'd be honored).




I started the day with the Rainforest Acai Berry (which was a disappointment; it was OK, but it's rooibos tea, which I personally don't like...but of course I didn't read the fine print stating this when I bought it, and I don't want it to go to waste).

I'm now on the chocolate jasmine.  So far it's the ONLY tea I think is enhanced by the addition of milk.  Man, this stuff's good.

Perhaps next week when I have some time, I'll try to hunt down some others to try.
