Can you help me find these coffee cups for my childhood?
I’m trying to find a set of cups my Mawmaw used to have. They weren’t regular coffee mugs, they were more of a teacup style, kind of delicate and lighter than a normal mug. The shape wasn’t wide and flat like a fancy tea party cup, but also not tall like a standard mug. It was somewhere in between, slightly rounded with thinner walls and a smaller handle.
The main thing I remember is the color. The outside of the cup was a solid gray, not white with a design on it. The gray was the actual base color of the cup, and then around the rim there was a pink band. I think there might have been a thin gold line with it, but I’m not completely sure on that part.
The design on the cup was printed, not raised or sculpted. It was the same picture on both sides. It showed kittens, kind of realistic but still soft-looking, not cartoonish. I remember gray and orange kittens playing with a ball of yarn, and I’m pretty sure the yarn was pink. The scene wasn’t super busy, just a simple little picture of the kittens playing.
They didn’t feel like expensive china or anything like that. They were more like something you’d get from a gift shop or a set someone picked up years ago. Probably from the 80s or 90s. They may have come with matching pieces, but I only really remember the cups.
If anyone has seen something like this or knows what brand or set it might be, I’d really appreciate the help. Even something close would be great.
