{"product_id":"cloudy-floral-stoneware-cup-225ml-cream","title":"Cloudy Floral Stoneware Cup 225ml - Cream","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Cloudy floral cup is a small stoneware cup holding 225ml, 8cm tall and 7cm across, with a round ring handle wide enough for small fingers. It is handpainted, with three little flowers growing up one side and the words 'The earth laughs in flowers' lettered beside them, while stripes are painted all the way round the handle. A contrasting glaze lines the inside, so a flash of it shows over the rim with every sip. At 0.25KG it has the weight of real stoneware in the hand, a world away from a plastic beaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs children's tableware, it suits milk, water or juice at breakfast and teatime, and the 225ml capacity is a sensible amount for a younger drinker. That same size sits between an espresso cup and a full mug, so it works just as well for a grown-up's small coffee or a cup of tea. The garden lettering makes it a thoughtful gift for a child who loves flowers, or for anyone who spends their weekends planting. Between meals it brightens a kitchen shelf, a breakfast table or a nursery dresser, and it pairs happily with a small plate for a weekend snack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and good at holding warmth. This cup goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so warming milk or clearing up after breakfast needs no special handling. Because the decoration is painted by hand, the flowers and stripes vary a little from one cup to the next, and the glaze has soft, cloudy streaks and a gently uneven rim that give it a homemade feel. For styling, set it on a light wooden table with the lettering turned towards the room, or keep it on an open shelf where the painted flowers can catch the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpainted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e225ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.25KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cup large enough for a hot drink?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt holds 225ml, which is more than an espresso cup and less than a full mug, so it suits a child's warm milk or a grown-up's small coffee or tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the cup go in the dishwasher and the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
