I used this measuring cup every day for over 25 years to drink my tea out of. One morning all my mugs were unwashed so I grabbed this out of my cabinet. I liked the way it felt' the open handle the heft of the glass and the way it held the heat in. Also I could keep up with the amount of fluid I took in . Sad to say I lost my old friend this morning. I carelessly knocked my elbow against it and it fell to the floor in a million pieces. Thank God it was empty save for a new teabag. I had jokingly told my husband he could bury it with me. I just knew I would use it for the rest of my life. The only part intact was the handle,so I picked it up kissed it farewell and gently placed it in the trash.You had served me well thou good and faithful servant.
