Description
This small cup is made of stoneware, with a speckled beige surface and a flock of little sheep scattered around the body, each one a round, woolly cloud with a tiny face and legs. It holds 170ml, which makes it a cup rather than a mug: right for a child's milk or juice, or a short coffee for a grown-up who prefers a smaller measure. At 7cm across and 8cm tall it sits neatly at a place setting, and a single loop handle gives fingers something to hold. Inside, the glaze changes to a contrasting tone, so the drink rests against a plain, clean surface.
Made as children's tableware, it is at home in a family kitchen or at a breakfast table where the youngest wants a cup of their own. The sheep make it easy for a child to spot among the everyday crockery, and the modest size suits a warm milk before bed or a little juice with lunch. Grown-ups like it just as much: a cup of tea at a desk, a short coffee in the afternoon, or a thoughtful gift for anyone fond of country motifs and soft, speckled stoneware.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, which is why it has long been a favourite for everyday cups. This one goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven as well, so warming a drink or clearing up after breakfast needs no special handling. It weighs 0.16KG, a light cup to lift. For a cheerful breakfast table, set it beside a plain plate or on a wooden tray and let the little flock of sheep bring the character.
