just what i need...

... something else to obsess about.

i recently purchased this vintage cup & saucer and now i need more. it was made by nymolle in denmark and designed by hoyrup. so, the hunt begins.

Fish Eddy's might be a nice alternative too! Their Brooklyn set has a similar illustrative effect.

i have this, from a thrift's store in thomas edison's hometown, for two dollars. it's my son's, but it pains me freakishly to let him use it!

you should make your own. they have amazing craft pens these days and you back the piece in your oven after! everyone would be collecting your pieces in no time!

I just came over from design sponge and was so happy to see this post! I just started collecting this stuff this past fall when I stumbled across it on etsy. There were some good deals on ebay. Enjoy!

I have the saucer! Crazy.

Just found your blog: I HAVE one of these - it was my mother's. Someone told me it is a cigarette holder and ash tray because it has no handle or indentation to hold the cup in place... could be - mine is #6007!

I have one saucer. No cup. Picked it up for a dollar in Wheatland, WY.

Yikes! How lovely!

it's lovely

i have one of this set, too! It was much smaller in real life than I had imagined but I quickly fell in love with how tiny and adorable it is...

what a lovely set - I found an unmarked mystery bottle with similar design in a boot sale here in the UK
http://roddyandginger.blogspot.com/2009/11/mystery-bottle.html could it be by nymolle?

Do you know about replacements.com? They have most everything. Love the pattern. I have one saucer to break. Diane

So cute and unique!

Holy Crap! A friend of mine gave me one of those little plates to replace a little mexican dish of mine that she accidentally broke. I didn't know it was a saucer! Now I have to find a cup to go with it!

[kendall micayla]

[hubbub]

Very very cute! Never seen this before! Good luck on your hunt for the whole collection I hope

YOu can usually find a few pieces on etsy under vintage. For example:

Nymolle is totally charming and I always have my radar tuned for it at the thrifts...I have found 5 pieces in the last year. Your mileage may vary of course, but the search is half the fun and that aqua color is pretty easy to spot amongst all the white, creams and browns.
Happy hunting!

Oh, that is lovely. Please let us know if you find them somewhere.

so cute! i really do hope you find more. one, by itself, is awesome. but an entire set?! whoa, baby.
