Addison Speckled Stoneware Mugs 500ml Set of 3 - Multi

This is a set of three speckled stoneware mugs, each with a rounded, almost ball-like body and a round loop handle. Every mug holds 500ml, which makes it a big mug rather than a cup: room for a large tea, a milky coffee or a proper hot chocolate. Each one is 10.5cm across and 10cm tall, so the body sits comfortably in two cupped hands. The reactive glaze is what gives the set its character: fine speckles run through a multicoloured surface, and the three mugs each carry their own version of it.

These are mugs for slow mornings and long afternoons at the kitchen table, the desk or a favourite chair by the window. The 500ml capacity suits anyone who likes a drink that lasts, and it works just as well for a serving of soup or porridge on a cold day. Because the three mugs differ, everyone in a household can tell whose is whose at a glance, and the set makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for a first home or a shared flat.

Each mug is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired material that holds heat well, and is finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so the speckling and the shifts in tone vary from piece to piece and no two mugs come out quite alike. Care is simple: the mugs go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a forgotten coffee is no trouble. We like them stacked by the kettle or lined up along an open shelf, where the rounded shapes and varied glazes read as a small display of their own. The styling props shown are not included.

How much does each mug hold?

Each mug holds 500ml, which is a large mug size, generous enough for a big tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate.

Can the mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. They go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and the maker says they can go in the oven too.

What are the mugs made of?

They are made from 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze, which gives each mug its speckled, multicoloured surface.

How big is each mug?

Each mug is 10.5cm across and 10cm tall, with a rounded body and a loop handle, so it sits comfortably in the hand.

Do the three mugs look the same?

No. A reactive glaze varies as it fires, so the speckling and tone differ from mug to mug, and each of the three has its own look.

How many mugs come in the set?
