Upgrading

Our dishware is stored on open shelves in the kitchen, so it's important to me that everything we have there looks good. Right now, we've got a mishmash of mugs--hand-me-downs, post-college finds, freebies from events, etc. I'm considering a couple of options.

This one designed by the glorious Eva Zeisel for Crate & Barrel...



And a much cheaper alternative, the Silo mug from CB2...

Thoughts?
