one of the neat things about collecting mugs is that there are so many individually different ways to do it. Some people collect manufacturers lines (like otagiri, orchids, etc) and focus on getting all the mugs. Some people collect all the tons of new mugs being produced. Other people arent concerned about repeating designs, but want the markings to be from all different places.. (I've even seen people doing this go so far as to have half the mugs facing backwards to show the marking) its pretty cool- each collection is unique in its own way.. even the way they are organized.

This time I am displaying the mugs in a different way than I used to do it. I'm kindof going by size and style.

The size thing I'm forced to do because of being short on space. So I have short shelves and tall shelves to make use of every bit of vertical space on the bookcases. So all the short ones go together and all the tall ones go together. This led to all the Moai heads being in one area, all the triangular yellow cylinder mugs being together, all the tiki bob's being together, etc. Its looks neat doing it this way.

I put all the westwood together, and the westwood knockoffs nearby. All the PMP stuff is together with "PMP-like" stuff nearby, etc.
