I first saw the New Wave dining ware at a restaurant and I immediately fell in love with the wave design.
This café au lait mug is such a generous size I would say you can also let it double as a soup mug. Serve the mug on the matching plate with some crusty French bread on the side, YUM. Tip: the plates from the regular mugs also fit the Café au Lait mugs and the Machiatto glasses.
I bought several of these Café au Lait mugs using Amazons the Free Super Saver shipping and that combined with the price they where sold at, was a good deal.

Product Description:The New Wave Caf? line draws from the popular New Wave collection with the sweeping handle that fits perfectly in the hand. This white fine china mug is one of four pieces in the collection of espresso cup, capuccino mug and caf? au lait cup. The large party plate is used as a saucer for these items and is inspired in shape by the plate in the New Wave collection.
Amazon.com Review:Coffee and contemporary art meld in Villeroy & Boch's New Wave Caffe collection. Consisting exclusively of cups and saucers for hot coffee and espresso drinks, the all-white collection proves that fine china is not just for traditionalists. The wide handle on this café au lait cup swoops out of the rim, turns at an angle, and curves down to join the tapered base in a dramatic flourish. Both the cup and handle are crafted from one piece of vitrified china. Available separately is the saucer, a wavy rectangular plate that holds the cup nicely in a round well, leaving a curvy shelf for one or two chocolate biscotti.
Similar in shape to the other cups in the New Wave Caffe collection, the 13-1/2-ounce Café au Lait cup is broader and shorter than the coffee mug and larger than the cappuccino and espresso cups. Each size fits a matching plate that serves as a saucer, resulting in a striking contemporary combo that is sure to jazz up afternoon or after-dinner coffee. Made in either Luxembourg or Germany, New Wave Caffe ware is safe for the microwave and dishwasher. --Ann Bieri

Can't use if you are left-handed
Have these mugs and then discovered how uncomfortable they are for the left handed! who would have thought i had so many left handed friends.
SO GREAT!
I love these cups! I found some at Bed Bath and Beyond with a funky trend on them and then gave them out as gifts. Definitely unique...don't worry I kept one for myself!
beautiful cups
Saw these on the show "Chuck" and had to have them, so simple and elegant
Stylish design and wonderful quality
The design and craftmanship is exactly what I have expected. The size of cup is quite big so that you may also use it for serving the French onion soup with its stylish desgin. It shall stand out on your table. I bought 1+6 of it and like them at all. :D
