Sip your hot drink in style with the best cup and saucer

We're breaking out the Wedgwood in our first cup and saucer set. By far, the Wedgwood Midnight Crane was our favourite - but, there are plenty of designs to get your teeth into. Not literally, of course. This set will bring a sense of occasion to your afternoon tea. Why not feel fancy on your own? We love the elegant, floral design and 22-carat gold banding. It'll come carefully packaged in a Wedgwood blue gift box. A gift to yourself, from yourself.

For a delightful set of four, why not pick this Sara Miller Chelsea Collection Espresso Mug Set? This espresso set will surely brighten up the home. Exquisitely designed, these fine china cups arrive with touches of real 22-carat gold, beside a design inspired by vintage prints from Asia. Enchanting, with striking colours, this set has some appeal. If you could see yourself drinking a cup of Joe from this set, we don't blame you.

Customer review: "I have two sets of these coffee cups and saucers which are used all the time. Simply lovely, beautifully made and beautifully painted. Makes a perfect gift also. We love them."

The Argon Tableware Cappuccino Cup Set arrives with great reviews - and would be a reliable addition to any kitchen. Though a little plain in design, this set makes up for it with durability and easy cleaning. Simply, pop in the dishwasher to make life easy. It matches a wide range of crockery from the Argon collection and is designed to last for years.

Customer review: "Arrived this morning - must say, they're better than what I thought. Much bigger than I thought, too, than they were in the picture. Overall, a nice coffee cup."

Choose between two sizes and five colours with the China Blue Handmade and Rustic Stoneware Cup Set. We love the colour "Moss" - as it really brings out the earthy glaze of the stoneware. Suitable for drinking alone or for a special moment with friends, these durable stoneware cups complement any style of kitchen - and could even make a fabulous (and timeless) gift for tea lovers. Aren't they ever so cosy - and comforting?

Customer review: "Fantastic!!! Fantastic!! Came well packaged and came the next day. This is a 5-star seller. I'm so happy with my cups they look beautiful. Ordered smaller sizes for guests. Thanks so much!"

With a timeless design, the ProCook Café Collection in Grey may be what you've been looking for. Practical, these cups have a subtle rounded shape and come with a handle that is easy to... well, handle. They're crafted from porcelain, a durable variation of bone china, which is dishwasher safe. Generously sized to hold your favourite hot beverage, these cups will make your tea or coffee-drinking moments special.

Flying solo, this Dunelm Gold Rim Breakfast Cup and Saucer is one of our favourite picks. This set looks rather expensive, despite being only a fiver. Made from porcelain, this cup and saucer come in a simple (yet fancy) white finish and gold rim for a touch of style. Unfortunately, this cup is handwash only - but matching sets are available.

Customer review: "Excellent quality. Perfect for afternoon tea with friends and family. Bought six and presented them with scones and cakes. Everyone thought they were very posh!"

Partial to a cup of coffee? This set from Wedgwood is a treat. Wedgwood Wild Strawberry Coffee Cup feels vintage and very British. The illustration is one of our favourites from this list, offering a botanical whimsicality to tea (and coffee) time. Your morning cup will feel all the more glamorous if you break this out of the cupboard. Made from Wedgwood's unmistakably silky white bone china with gold banding, this classic shape is elegant.

Ideal for enjoying your tea in style, the Roy Kirkham Breakfast Cup in Honeysuckle is a fabulously adorable cup and saucer set. Crafted from fine bone china, and finished with a delicate gold line at the rim, this breakfast cup may be handwash only, but it's totally worth it - with the generous capacity and intricately-vintage pattern.

Customer review: "A fine china tea cup and saucer that is an example of aesthetic excellence and practicality; it holds the optimum quantity of brew to restore normality, and is rather nice to look at."

We love Habitat's homeware range - for its stylish affordability. Fill this floral beauty to the brim, with the Habitat x Kew Ceramic Cup and Saucer, you're set for the summer. Habitat's collaboration with Kew Gardens is inpired by floral and fauna from around the world - and it is divine. This hardy stoneware tea cup and saucer is a great piece, adorned with stunning illustrations and finished with a vibrant palette and handpainted rim. We're very impressed.

You can grab the matching teapot, for the authentic experience.

Customer review: "This is divine! Gorgeous cup and saucer."

Art Deco to a tee, the Clarence Ceramic Cup and Saucers Set from Oliver Bonas is a dream. If you're swept up by the retro fever, then this Oliver Bonas set may be the one for you. We could just see ourselves sipping from this cup and saucer set from a mid-century-inspired kitchen with classic, checked floors and geometric patterns adorning the walls. Of all, the patterns on these cups are complementary, yet individual. You can even grab a matching teapot.

Take your pick from six of Van Gogh's renowned designs. Whether you're a fan of the dreamy, alluring Starry Night or the bright, joyful Sunflowers, this cup and saucer set will sit beautifully on display - and in your hands. Why not get one of each and complete the set? They're such a treat. Van Gogh's infamous designs have been loved for hundreds of years - and that'll never change. This set makes an unusual pick, ideal for art enthusiasts.

Customer review: "I got two of these Van Gogh-inspired teacups of different designs and they both arrived in great condition. They're really quite beautiful for display and sturdy for use. Have to be my favourite teacups now."

From the well-known tea brand, we adore the Twinings Yvonne Ellen Big Cats Set. It's vibrant, inviting and will put a smile on the face of any animal lover. And - who doesn't love a swanky-looking big cat on their mug? We didn't - until now. Coming with the signature gold rim, this set is crafted from the finest bone china. Luxury.

The Maxwell + Williams Cup in Mint Green is ideal for those who love to enjoy tea in beautifully-designed porcelain.
