He guys, my 21st is coming up and the family wants to know what they can get me.
So, ages ago I saw this awesome coffee set, it had a big pot, and a few demitasses, what i liked so much about it was the out side of the cups was royal blue, the inside was mother of pearl white and it was all gold rimmed.
Has anyone seen anything like it? I should have bought it when i saw it (at a sunday market), but any help would be greatly appriciated.

Sounds like you're describing Terra Keramik espresso cups, though they're not exactly as you've described--rimmed in platinum with platinum handles, not gold. I don't know anything about the set you've described, but these cups are really nice. Not cheap, but certainly within the realm of nice birthday gifts. Hope this helps. Sorry I can't suggest where to find them in Oz.
Have a great one, and many more!

Thanks mate those look great, I'm not actually sure the cups I'm talking about are for espresso, the set came with a coffee pot, so I'm assuming it would be for some sort of strong coffee that you brew then serve out of a pot, also the wall thickness was crazy thin, like bone china or something!!! At first I thought it might have been a turkish set, but then the turkish cups usually have a copper holder, so I'm clueless now...
