Description
This stoneware cup holds 250ml and stands 7.5cm tall and 8cm across, a compact, straight-sided shape with a rounded loop handle. Its character comes from a vivid reactive glaze: darker streaks run down from the rim and thin out as they fall, leaving the lower half a soft, glossy cream. The walls carry a gently uneven surface, and the glaze gathers in small ridges close to the base. Reactive glazes move as they fire, so each cup comes out of the kiln with its own run of streaks and no two match exactly.
At 250ml it takes a generous cup of tea or a milky coffee, which makes it a natural everyday choice for the breakfast table, the desk or a slow weekend morning on the sofa. At 0.26KG it is easy to carry from the kettle to wherever the day settles, and the loop handle keeps fingers clear of the warm wall. It suits anyone who likes a cup with some character, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a keen tea or coffee drinker. Because it goes in the microwave, a coffee left standing too long can be warmed again in the cup itself, with no need for a second one.
The cup is made from 100% stoneware, a dense clay fired at high temperatures, and stoneware holds heat well. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, which means it can stay in daily use without any special treatment. The variation in the glossy reactive glaze from one cup to the next comes from the firing rather than from any fault. For a relaxed display, line a few along an open kitchen shelf with the handles all turned the same way, so the streaks catch the light and the cream lower halves read as one calm band.
