While waking up this morning, I was looking at my incredibly boring coffee mug, white with a big ear, and I could not even remember where I bought it. Something I use everyday, with absolutely no value to me other than holding my warm drink.

I figure that having a nice mug to drink my coffee from every morning can give me some delight on the day.

So I went on the search for the best Mediterranean pottery brands, where I can buy them from the locals. I only had a few rules; no mass production, only hand made, and of course they have to be beautiful.

Here are some of my favorite finds which can be ordered online
