 - Ceramic coffee or tea cup
Here’s a novel cup for your favourite tea or coffee. Designed to look like the coffee shop takeaway cups, this one is in fact made of a pretty blue and white china. It comes complete with a heat resistant sleeve, so you can carry it around and not burn your hand whilst you drink it, and a funky rubber lid, just like the ones you’re used to getting with takeout coffees.
If you’re really into eco issues and being green, you could even take this ceramic cup with you to your favourite coffee shop and see if they’re prepared to serve you a cuppa in this, rather than their usual cups.

 Monochrome crockery At House of Fraser there’s currently up to 50% off dinnerware, serving dishes and glasses. Amongst the bargains, we spotted this Linea Eternal Silouhette dinnerware range, which is rather nice and half price.
Made from fine bone white china, the pieces have a delicate black floral design that, in most cases, runs over half the plate (or in the case of the mug, inside it too). The Eternal Silhoutte range includes dinner plates, salad plates, soup bowls, tea cups and saucers, and mugs, with prices now starting at a very reasonable £4 for a mug.
Also available in the sale are Denby Azure placemats, Linea Darcy tablelinen and the classic Denby Imperial Blue glassware.

 Square dinner set Square dinner plates are a pleasant change from the traditional round design of many tableware sets and help produce a more contemporary look.
This porcelain dinner set comes with 16 pieces – four dinner plates, four side plates, four bowls and four mugs – and is decorated in a striking black and white oriental flower design. The edges of the square plates are slightly rounded, producing a soft look.
Everything is dishwasher and microwave safe and the 16 piece oriental flower dinner set is only £29.89 from Argos.

These three mugs are all part of the chinaware collection from designer, Sophie Allport.
They come from the New Sequence range of mugs and each features a themed design with small images in a sequence. There’s a whole host of designs to choose from, but we rather like these three - The Good Life, Home Grown and Lay A Little Egg for Me!
Each of the mugs costs £8.50 and you can find them on Sophie Allport’s website.

 Stylish tableware If you missed the previous offer we featured, for the Maxwell and Williams Cashmere Allegro dinner set, then this Ruby range from M&S is almost identical.
Better still, it costs considerably less for a 12 piece set than the full price of the Maxwell and Williams version. Available in the same black and white or red and white choices, the stripy dinner set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls.
Matching Ruby cups and saucers are £7.50 each and extra side plates are £6 each. Get the look and style, without breaking the bank!
