Bolivia Geometric Stoneware Cups 350ml Set of 2 - Multi

These are two stoneware cups, each holding a generous 350ml, so they suit a proper cup of tea, a large milky coffee or a hot chocolate rather than a small espresso. Each cup stands 8cm tall and measures 9cm across, a low, rounded shape that sits comfortably in two hands. The handle is the detail people notice first: a flat round disc with a raised, rounded grip set into it, giving your fingers something solid to hold. Both cups carry a handpainted geometric pattern of broad blocks crossed by a single upright stripe, and the two patterns differ, so the pair looks matched without being identical.

They belong on the kitchen table for the first drink of the morning, or on a tray beside the sofa when a friend visits. Sold as a pair, they make an easy gift for a couple, a housewarming or someone setting up a first home. The multicoloured pattern works well where the rest of your tableware is plain, giving a simple breakfast table a lift with no other effort. One cup will also rest on top of the other, which saves a little room on a crowded shelf.

Each cup is 100% stoneware, painted by hand and finished in a reactive glaze. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature into a dense, hard body, which is why it stands up well to daily use, and a reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so its surface varies in depth from one area to the next. Care is simple: the cups go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so they can be washed after breakfast and used to warm a drink that has gone cold. The weight given is 0.54KG. For styling, set them on a wooden board or a linen cloth, where the handpainted blocks and stripes read most clearly.
