Description
These are stoneware cups in a green glaze, sold as a set of four, and each one is shaped like a round bowl raised on a short, flared foot. A wide ring handle sits high on the side, and a band of small embossed swirls runs around the foot. Each cup holds 250ml, a generous measure for tea or coffee that is roomier than a small coffee cup and close to an everyday mug. They stand 10.5cm tall and measure 9cm across, a rounded, compact size that sits well on a tea tray or a breakfast table.
A set of four cups of one shape gives a small household or a first kitchen an easy start, and they bring real character to morning coffee, afternoon tea or a pot shared with friends at the weekend. The footed shape lifts each cup slightly off the table, and it looks just as good on a dresser or open kitchen shelving between uses. Stoneware holds heat well, a useful trait in any cup for hot drinks. The rounded bowl also works for food: a portion of yoghurt with fruit, a small serving of soup or a single dessert at the end of a meal.
Each cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a glossy glaze with visible streaks and shading, so the four cups vary slightly in tone and no two look quite alike. They go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a cooled coffee can be warmed again and the cups can be washed with the rest of the day's crockery. For the table, set them beside plain white plates for contrast, or group all four on a wooden tray next to the teapot for a relaxed tea.
