Description
These are small stoneware espresso cups, sold as a set of four, and each wears its own reactive glaze, so the group reads as multicoloured rather than matched. Each cup holds 75ml, an espresso size rather than a cup for a long coffee, and stands 6cm across and 6.5cm tall, small enough to sit neatly in the hand. The profile steps in partway down, a wider upper band over a narrower foot, and that step lets the cups stack inside one another.
They belong beside the coffee machine or the stovetop pot, on a kitchen shelf where the stack stands tidily, and at the dining table when coffee comes out after a meal. A mixed set suits a household where everyone likes knowing which cup is theirs, and it brings a cheerful note to a breakfast tray or a slow weekend morning. Stoneware holds heat well, which counts with a small pour that would otherwise cool quickly. They are just as happy holding a short shot for one as they are lined up for guests at a dinner party.
Each cup is 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, which gives every surface its own speckles, pooling and flecks of tone, so no two cups come out exactly alike. For everyday care they go in the dishwasher, and they can also go in the microwave and the oven, so warming a cup ahead of pouring is simple. Stack the four beside the machine to save counter space, or line them up on a small tray so the different glazes sit side by side and guests can each pick a favourite.

Frequently Asked
How much does each cup hold?
Each cup holds 75ml, an espresso size, so it suits short coffees rather than a latte or a long americano.
Can the cups go in the dishwasher?
Yes. They go in the dishwasher, and they can also go in the microwave and the oven for warming.
What material are the cups?
Each cup is 100% stoneware finished in a reactive glaze, which is why every surface varies a little in tone and texture.
Do the cups stack?
Yes. Each cup narrows towards its foot, so the base of one sits inside the rim of the next, and all four stack into a neat column.
How big is each cup?
Each cup is 6cm across and 6.5cm tall, a compact size that sits comfortably in the hand and fits neatly on a small tray.
What is included?
You receive four stoneware espresso cups, each in a different reactive glaze. The styling props shown are not included.
