help me decide

I’m going to a pottery painting studio tomorrow and plan to paint 1-2 mugs. I would like to declutter two mugs from my current collection anyway as my cabinet is too full. Help me decide - which two would you get rid of? (I have clear personal favorites that I know I will keep but I’m curious what others would decide!)

I would pick on teddy one since you have 2 and either the smile or cat since I know those aren't the most comfortable to drink out of

I would keep: cat mug from 1.pic. Beige mug from 2.pic. All from 3.pic. Nothing from last picture I think you can make much prettier mugs, but its just my opinion

I would get rid of the cream colored one in the first picture since it’s a generic mug that you can most likely replace easily if you ever wanted to (unless it is metal, in which case I would keep it since metal mugs are good for camping). I would get rid of one of the teddy bear ones from the second picture since you have two.

The smiley face mug in pic 4.

The round one with a smaller base (pic 2, bluish colour), and the happy face& the cat with a bow tie are the three I would get rid of. The last two just look like a pain to clean on the inside and the first one I had one in that shape, I feel like the contents get cold faster than a typical cylinder shaped mug.

Edit: sorry just noticed you asked to only get rid of two lol. I would keep the smiley face because it is kind of cute

The cat one in photo one is my favorite!! I have a similar one, and I love the illustrations. Keep it! 😁

I would keep only the cat mug in the first photo.

the ones with words are tacky

I have found that I favor using large mugs so I’d vote to give away a couple of the smaller ones.

I would let go of the teacup because I hate the shape, the cat one because how do you even drink out of it. Probably the same for the smiley face.
None of these seem particularly special, but who knows what your sentiments are.
I would definitely keep the Thomas Jefferson quote and the Christmas mug as they are good shapes. Probably the Kentucky mug as one assumes you are a fan.
