I was recently asked to help a friend with some mug shots. No, she was not arrested. She was asked by Good Housekeeping to provide some photographs of her beloved Wonder Woman mug and I happened to be around with my camera.
When asked by Gretchen what makes her happy, Nilofer shared that drinking coffee from her Wonder Woman mug that was given to her as a gift by her step daughter had turned into a real source of pleasure.

I love the transformation of business woman to Wonder Woman on Nilofer’s Mug!
Maybe we are what we drink from – it worked for Nilofer Merchant!
I thought about what mug I like to drink from in my daily ritual and what it means to me. My favorite cup (part of a pair – one green, one blue but I exclusively use the green one) was a given to me as a wedding present by a dear friend from art school. The cup is lined with polka dots and covered with playful naked people cavorting about and was made by a potter in Scotland. I find it beautiful, arty and celebratory and I love how it fits in my hands. What makes it really special though is the fact that someone I care about gave me the gift which says she knows the real me, that she sees who I am, that she gets me – and I get to drink from that gift every day! Sometimes a cup is more that a cup!
My favorite cup was a gift from a dear friend from art school – we share a similar aesthetic appreciation.
I love the color, the craquelure glaze and playful union of people on this handmade Scottish cup.
Is there a special mug or cup that you chose to drink from, and have you thought about why?
