Espresso cups

I've mentioned before that I have an unfortunate habit of buying far more espresso cups that I'll ever need. Although I am a dedicated drinker of small shots of strong black coffee, I'll never be able to use them all. Yet I am addicted. Perhaps it's something to do with the fact that they're usually the most affordable way to include a really gorgeous piece of dinnerware in your collection. Perhaps it's just hardwired. Either way, these lovely pieces from Kathleen Hills (£27) are now firmly on my list. I'm also quite taken with her coffee cups (£23 inc. saucer) which would be useful for when I host those odd people that insist on drinking milk in their coffee.
