I love the blue one, I like how the dots on the outside let light into the inside. Very nice.

Really? Earl Grey is real expensive down here. Loose tea is the cheapest way to drink it, $3.80 gets enough for a couple weeks.

Rice Eye? I'll have to look for something like that. I was thinking from outside in, they must be pretty with tea in them, so you can see the shade of the tea from the inside out. Really nice.

Bela,

I jumped over to Ebay, and did a search. Found a pair like the one you show, "rice eye pattern", couldn't help it, bought it. Probably too much, but two cups, they had showing as sake cups, for 8.95 plus the dollar I gave for the Avon breast cancer fund. Now, I have to wait again!!!

This is what I sent off for.

Here is one other:
