Description
This white stoneware tumbler is made of stoneware and polypropylene, and its speckled body carries a botanical motif: a single leafy stem with three small round buds rising up one side. It is a round, almost straight-sided piece, 7.5cm across and 11cm tall, so it is compact and upright, small enough to lift in one hand and narrow enough to take very little room on a shelf, a basin or a desk. It weighs 0.286KG. The motif gives it the look of a pressed flower on a plain page, which keeps it quiet enough to sit among other pieces without crowding them.
Its height and opening suit the small things that otherwise scatter across a surface: toothbrushes and toothpaste beside the bathroom basin, make-up brushes on a dressing table, pens and pencils on a desk, or paintbrushes in a studio. A few dried stems or grasses also look right in it on a windowsill or a bedside table, where the leafy motif echoes what it holds. It suits anyone who likes everyday storage to look chosen rather than tucked away, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for a new home or a student room.
The finish is a reactive glaze with a decal. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the speckling and the tone of the glaze settle a little differently from piece to piece, while the decal applies the botanical motif as a crisp transfer rather than painting it by hand. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, which is why it is so often chosen for pieces in daily use. To style it, group it with plain white ceramics on a tray and let its single stem be the one pattern in the arrangement.
