These mugs were made by HighWave and were called “HotJo”. The model line was modernized however, so that the older ones are not available anymore. The current HotJo mugs were also used in later seasons of DS9 however.

I recently had the chance to acquire one of the original HotJo mugs on eBay, unfortunately not a purple one however, but a teal colored one. The teal color was also used on mugs in DS9, but not in these cone shaped mugs in Quarks Bar, but only on the more straightlined ones in OPS and the surrounding command level of the station.

Here are some screenshots of the mug in question:

And here’s my teal mug:

HighWave sold these years ago as travel mugs.

This heavy mug is made from stoneware…

…and features a very comfortable handle.

The purple mugs were custom made for the show…

…and are very rare these days.

These were only used in Quarks. In OPS they had a more straightlined type.

It is such a mug that I got on eBay some time ago and that I am now happy to present here! The maker is unknown to me but the mug was probably a found item and is no longer made today.

As usual, let’s first have a look at some screenshots. This is a scene in the Replimat where the mugs were used:

And here’s mine:

This stoneware mug is absolutely accurate and identical to the ones used.

The handle is quite thick and a little uncomfortable to use in my opinion.

Due to the wide base, this mug is unlikely to ever tip over.

The manufacturer of this mug is unknown to me…

…but this exact type of mug is unlikely to be still made unaltered today.

“Tea, Earl Grey, hot!”

It is a small glass cup made by Bodum, equipped with a plastic handle that can be detached for cleaning. This found item is to my knowledge no longer manufactured, so it will be increasingly hard to find. The cup is part of an entire tea set named “Le Pot”, which includes four cups, a tea pot, a sugar bowl, a creamer (all with cork pads) and spoons.

Here’s a still of the screen used cup:

And here’s mine:

The Bodum cup (note the logo on the bottom) is made of glass…

…and has a plastic handle which can be detached for cleaning.

There is also a taller version of this cup…

…which was also used in TNG.

Here are both cups in a comparison shot.

I was lucky enough to obtain the entire tea set which is called “Le Pot”.

I was fortunate for me that I was able to get one of these a while ago.

Here’s a screenshot of the scene where Guinan uses the glass to mix a drink:

And here’s mine:

The unusual shape makes it hard to empty the glass I would imagine.

Like many other Star Trek glasses, this one was a candle holder in a former life.
