@lockelyfox I know it won’t have the same feel as your favourite mug, but we got these and love them: https://www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/products/the-picard-tea-cup-set-1

@colingourlay
A friend of mine bought me a set of these back in like 2018 and, kid you not, the bottom straight up detached from two separate cups pouring hot tea into them.

@lockelyfox holy shit. I think they may have cracked () the build quality since then, but that’s wild. Boiling water is no joke!!

@lockelyfox

It won't be exact, but you can use this image and use a print on demand site eg.

@eiranix That's actually really useful. Did you make this??? It won't have the color changing ink, but overall it would serve as a worthy replacement.

Here's a few more shots of it.

@lockelyfox Yeah, it's a cool mug, so I thought I could spread some joy by remaking the design :]

And yes I saw those photos online, its annoying me that none of them show the very middle bit! But I updated the image to add what looks like might be there.

[eiranix@mas.to]

@lockelyfox Oh excellent, I updated my original post again, so it should be pretty close now :]

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@eiranix thank you so much

[eiranix@mas.to]

@lockelyfox If you do get one printed, you'll have to post a photo of how it comes out. I might get one too!

[ikuo1000@mas.to]

@eiranix @lockelyfox Wow, this is such an amazingly kind, generous, thoughtful thing to do!!! ️ Thank you for being you & using your talents to bring joy to others!!

(I once asked a graphic design friend for advice on how to get an image created. He just went ahead & made it for me & I was moved by his kindness! Until he made it clear he thought I had asked him for free work & said he made a huge exception for me because I can't afford his services. So I get how valuable your efforts are.)

@lockelyfox Ouch. It has to be delivered by Brave New World's Transporter Twink. Same with chocolate being delivered by a red head.
