My favorite mug, for several years, has been what we refer to as the "bunny mug," a busy design of brown rabbits on a cream-colored mug. It's one of a series of similar designs of, well, animal orgies marketed by Taylor & Ng around 1979. The design is incidental--however proverbial rabbits may be for such things, they don't even begin to carbonate my hormones. But it's large, holding about 16 ounces, and fits my hand well. We bought a couple of mugs from Cafe Press a while ago, and while the size is good, the china is too thick and thus heavy to be comfortable for me when it's full of tea.
They don't make those mugs anymore, but there's a reasonable second-hand market on eBay. I've bid on a few of these recently, and am the high bidder on a purple "Penguin Motif Mug." I may try to pick up more like it, or I may make another attempt to find new mugs of this size and shape. (The trick, if looking on eBay, is that they reissued the designs a few years later, on slightly smaller mugs--fine if you're collecting designs, not so good if the goal is a generous cup of tea or coffee.)
