Description
This is a set of three multicoloured stoneware cups, each holding 290ml and each painted by hand with its own pattern. One carries bold abstract shapes scattered with small dots, one has large round spots, and one has fine upright stripes. Each pairs its outside with a contrasting handle and an interior in a different shade, so the three look like relatives rather than triplets. They measure 9.5cm across and 7cm tall, a low, wide, rounded shape that sits comfortably cupped in two hands.
At 290ml each cup takes a generous pour: a milky coffee, a proper cup of tea, or hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. The wide mouth and low height make them a natural breakfast cup at the kitchen table, and because the three designs differ, everyone sitting down together can tell whose is whose. They work just as well on a desk through a long morning, or brought out when friends come round for coffee. As a gift, they suit someone setting up a first home or anyone who likes a little pattern on the table.
Stoneware is a dense clay fired hard, so it holds the warmth of a drink well. The decoration on these cups is painted by hand, and the brushwork shows, most clearly in the swirled rings inside each one. Looking after them is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they can go in the microwave to warm a drink that has cooled, and they can go in the oven too. For styling, stack the three on an open shelf or hang them from hooks under a wall cupboard, where the different handles and interiors make a small, cheerful display of their own.
