Description
The Emilo is a grey stoneware cup with a rounded bowl set on a short, sturdy foot, which lifts it off the table and gives it the look of a small footed bowl with a handle. It holds 300ml, well beyond an espresso or a small coffee cup, so it takes a full serving of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate. It is 9cm across and 7cm tall, weighs 0.31KG and has a round loop handle on one side. The glaze carries visible brush strokes that run around the bowl, so the grey varies in tone from one side to the other.
Its size makes it an everyday cup: it suits the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table, a slow weekend coffee or a hot drink on the sofa in the evening. The maker approves it for food and it goes in the microwave and the oven, so it also works beyond drinks, for a small portion of soup, a warm helping of porridge or a baked pudding for one. The footed shape looks at home on a breakfast tray or a dresser shelf, and the grey glaze sits easily beside plain white tableware or a wooden table. It makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for a keen tea drinker, or for anyone who likes a cup with a little more character than the usual plain one.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware, with a glossy glaze on the bowl and the handle and a plainer, matt finish on the foot. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it fits daily routines without any hand washing. For a relaxed breakfast table, set it on a folded linen napkin beside a plate of toast; the styling props shown are not included.
