Turkish Coffee cup in 'antique silver' from The turkish Emporium

These Turkish coffee cups are so beautiful. They are espresso sized as Turkish Coffee is so strong, I have been told this is to ensure the Sufi's stay awake through the night to pray and meditate, (dont hold me to this).

Sadly I am not a big coffee drinker and they are too small for my Tri-daily cup of tea but they are so pretty and ornate that I am tempted to get one anyway.... lots of little cups of tea is do-able...

The bottom picture is a coffee cup that is available from The Turkish Emporium, there are however some really beautiful Turkish Coffee sets like this one from ebay, complete with Turkish Delight Bowl

Aren't these Silver and brass Indian lassi cups wonderful? I have had my eye on them ever since seeing them in my lovely friend Kerrie's shop Gypsy River, I have taken the plunge and brought two, one is a vase and the other is our toothbrush holder. They look great as vases, pen holders, make up brush holders, or even for drinking a refreshing cup of home made mango Lassi.... mmmm Lassi!

Hoe you are all having a happy weekend....
