Thirteen years ago, I moved into my present house, and was looking for a colour scheme for the kitchen. A friend gave me three of these lovely mugs, and I decided that this would be the kitchen colour scheme. Since then, I have had them displayed on a shelf, and have used them every day. I like my first cup of coffee in one every morning. They look as fresh as they did when I first had them, no scratches, no chips. But I broke one - dropped it on the floor - so I needed to replace it. Fortunately, they are still in production, and I was able to do that - because my kitchen just wouldn't be the same without its inspiration on display. I love all the Denby mugs, but Azure Coast is my special one.
