Ceramic cups from Villamer
Why I love this company and their products:
All of Villamer's ceramics are handmade in France. I bought a cup for a Christmas present from them last year, and I actually also bought one for myself, because I think they are so amazing.

You can really feel all the care and intention that is put into their creations. It's a small studio, so you know you are supporting a passion when you are buying from Villamer.
