The Perfect Coffee Cup: H for Hannah's Hedy Collection

We feel like bandwagon-jumpers, posting now about H for Hannah's Hedy collection of pristine bone china. Our Los Angeles sister site already posted her beautiful china and so have many other blogs.

But we can't help it - Hannah Morrow's bone china coffee cup is perfect, and the companion bowl isn't far behind.

Designer Hannah Morrow says that she designed the Hedy collection to be a celebration of the ceramic tradition of handmade fine bone china. She wanted each piece to have a beauty that is deceptively simple.

We think she did; the coffee cup is so beautiful we keep coming back to look at it. We'd like half a dozen in our cupboards and to drink our coffee out of it every morning.

• Hedy Coffee Cup, $39 each

• Hedy Medium Bowl, $55 each

I love love love a thin china cup. And this cup is almost perfect. But why do china designers give us a cup or mug that we can't get hold of. That dainty little handle is pretty, but pretty useless.

Beautiful. But handle too small. They would be nice for tea, I think.

I actually have one of these cups and the handle is definitely not too small for my not so tiny hands!

That was my reaction, too: beautiful china, but too small a handle.

I agree with the first comment, to me this cup is pretty perfect.
