Description
These are stoneware cups sold as a set of four, each holding 380ml, which puts them at a generous mug size rather than a dainty teacup. They are cream, with a fine speckle across the surface, a rounded, bellied body that narrows a little towards the rim, and a curving handle with room for fingers. Each cup is 9.5cm across and 9cm tall, compact on the shelf but deep enough for a proper serving. The decoration is painted by hand: a painted line around the rim and small botanical sprigs around the body, with each of the four carrying its own motif, so the set reads as a family rather than four identical copies.
At 380ml, these suit a large morning coffee, a milky tea at the kitchen table or hot chocolate on a cold evening, and they are roomy enough for a cup of soup at lunch. A set of four covers a couple with guests, a small household or a weekend breakfast with friends. The painted sprigs give a country kitchen feel that sits comfortably with scrubbed wood and linen, and between uses the cups look at home on an open dresser or behind the glass of a kitchen cabinet, where the four motifs can face outwards.
Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well. The cups go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a forgotten coffee or warming the cups before pouring takes no extra thought. Because the motifs are painted by hand, expect small differences in line and spacing from one cup to the next; that variation is the mark of handwork rather than a fault. For a relaxed table, set the four motifs out at random rather than matching them to places, and when cupboard space is short, stack them two high.
