Description
These are three stoneware mugs, each holding 400ml and measuring 9.5cm across and 10cm tall. That is a generous size: room for a large milky coffee, a proper builder's tea or a hot chocolate, rather than a dainty cup for an espresso. Each mug wears a different glaze, so the multicoloured three are clearly a family without being identical. On every one, a glossy upper glaze runs down over a more textured lower half, and the line where the two meet is soft and uneven. The body is rounded and slightly bellied, narrowing a little at the rim, with a wide loop handle.
They are mugs for daily use: the first coffee of the morning in the kitchen, a long tea at the desk, or a cocoa on the sofa. Because the glazes differ, everyone in the house can claim a mug of their own and know it at a glance. A set of three suits a small household, a couple who like a spare for a guest, or anyone who prefers a table that looks gathered over time rather than bought as a matching run. They also make an easy housewarming present. When they are not in use, they look at home on an open kitchen shelf or behind the glass of a dresser, where the glazes can be seen.
They are made of 100% stoneware and are food safe. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay body that holds heat well. They go in the dishwasher, so washing up is no chore. They are not microwave safe or oven safe, so warm milk in a pan and pour it into the mug, rather than heating the mug itself. For styling, hang all three from hooks under a shelf or line them up along the worktop with their handles turned the same way; the different glazes do the decorating.
