"Because these are china, they are of reasonable weight and feel good in one's hand. Most oversized mugs of stoneware or heavy porcelain can be heavy and unbalanced before liquid is added, these allow a large hot beverage or soup to be easily handled. I'm ordering more for co-workers who admire the green one I took to the office. 'Tis the season!
I first encountered this mug at a hip eatery about a year ago. I looked at the bottom and there was the C&B stamp. At that time these had been discontinued. I JUMPED on this deal and hoped they were the same mug. They are!
I bought a variety of colors and they're all great hues."
