Description
This small stoneware cup is made for children, cream on the outside and painted by hand with a sun and the words YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. It holds 110ml, so it is a little drinking cup sized for short drinks rather than a full mug: just right for a splash of milk, some water or a juice at the table. It stands 8cm tall and measures 7cm across, a neat size beside a child's plate, and the handle is a generous round loop, painted with short stripes that read like rays of light. Inside, a glossy glaze in a contrasting shade brings a cheerful flash of colour with every sip.
It belongs at the breakfast table, at teatime and with a warm drink before bed. Stoneware holds heat well, and because the cup goes in the microwave, warming a little milk is simple. The sunny message also makes it a thoughtful gift, for a birthday, a new brother or sister or a godchild, and it suits a grown-up who loves a small cup just as much. In a family kitchen, a cup like this gives a child something of their own to reach for each morning.
The cup is 100% stoneware with a hand-painted finish, so the lettering, the sun and the handle stripes are brushwork rather than a print. Care is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven. It weighs 0.25KG, the reassuring heft of real stoneware. For a cheerful breakfast setting, pair it with plain cream plates and let the sun and its message do the talking, or keep it on an open kitchen shelf between drinks as a small spot of sunshine.
