tea cups

by Mocha Wheels » Aug 27th, '07, 19:30

i am looking for a 6oz tea cup (at least one, can be in a set, can come with a matching tea pot but doesn't have to) with a (or several) monkey on it... preferably with a sunshine yellow background color and preferably without a handle... i've looked all over and can't find one. does anyone have any ideas?

God only knows why I was compelled to try to find this, but here you go.

As you can see, the cups are not handleless...but frankly, I'm surprised I even found this.

Wow I think you can buy it, but it appears to be a collectors item, looks like you could get for maybe $9000 :o Apparently it is famous in ceramic circles, perhaps there is a knock off of it

Only because I'm a bored insomniac and Arcturas resurrected this thread. At a comparatively thrifty $74:

The picture is a link. You can click it.

And if you're going to go to eBay you might as well check out:

and

I actually like the second one.

And now, I turn to proven pharmaceutical remedies to my sleeplessness rather than eBay.
