"Coffee and bite-sized sweets make for the perfect combination. Is it a coffee for the sake of sweets, or sweets for the sake of coffee? Being a lover of both, the relationship between the two has become rather indistinct for me.
When I first laid eyes on this cup & saucer, I was naturally drawn to the design. At the same time, a quiet thought crossed my mind: "The saucer is meant for sweets!" It simply couldn't be seen any other way.
Looking back at the photos from the past 8 years, they are all filled with sweets. Some are so big they cannot be eaten in one bite. In my case, it might be said that sweet things are indispensable with coffee.
Moving away from sweets and towards the vessel. The charm of this cup & saucer, designed by minä perhonen's Akira Minagawa, lies undoubtedly in its gray hue. The faded green-gray tint imparts a sophisticated yet retro impression.
While a bit special for everyday use, when I find 'the one' bite-sized treat, I look forward to enjoying it with this dish.
