Description
This small stoneware cup holds 185ml, which makes it a cup rather than a mug: right for a short coffee, a little tea, or a child's milk or juice. It stands 8cm tall and 7cm across, with a gently uneven rim and softly irregular sides that give it a handmade look. Across the cream front run the words 'You are my rainbow on a rainy day', with two small raindrops under the last line, and the round handle is striped like a rainbow. It weighs 0.25KG, so it feels solid without being heavy.
We see it most at the breakfast table, where it gives a child a cup of their own beside the grown-ups' mugs, and its small size is easy for little hands to hold. It works just as well for adults: a short coffee after lunch, a herbal tea before bed, or a morning cup on the desk. The message on the front makes it a warm present for a son, daughter, grandchild or friend who brightens a rainy day, and on a nursery or playroom shelf it adds a cheerful note even when empty.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and its decoration is handpainted, so the lettering and the stripes of the handle are each a little individual. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and the maker says it can go in the oven as well. For styling, set it with plain tableware so the striped handle catches the eye, or line two up on an open kitchen shelf for a bright, friendly touch.
