Description
These are two cream stoneware cups, each holding a generous 340ml, enough for a large tea or a milky coffee rather than a short espresso. Each cup is 9cm across and 9cm tall, with sides that widen gently towards the rim and an open, round loop handle. A fine crackle runs across the surface, and each cup carries a leaf motif drawn in delicate outline: one shows a branching sprig, the other a single broad leaf, so the two belong together without being identical.
They suit the breakfast table, a slow weekend morning or an afternoon pot of tea shared with a friend, and because there are two, they make an easy gift for a couple or a housewarming. The botanical decoration sits comfortably in a country kitchen beside linen and wooden boards, and it brings a quiet garden note to a modern table too. Stoneware is dense and sturdy, which is why it is a favourite for cups used every day rather than kept for best. A generous cup like this also earns its place at the desk, where a larger measure means fewer trips to the kettle.
The cups are 100% stoneware. They go in the dishwasher, which keeps everyday washing simple, but they should not go in the microwave or the oven, so heat milk on the hob and pour it into the cup. The styling props shown are not included. Because the leaf motif and crackle give each surface plenty of character, we like them best with plain cream or neutral plates on a scrubbed wooden table, letting the pair be the detail that catches the eye.
