Description
This set brings together three stoneware cups, each painted by hand with its own leaf design. One carries trailing sprigs of leaves that climb the side, one has broad, sweeping leaves that fan out across the body, and the third is scattered with small curling fronds, so the three read as a multicoloured family without being identical. Each cup holds 220ml and measures 7.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, a good size for a tea or a filter coffee: more than an espresso cup, a little less than a large mug. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which suits a hot drink taken slowly.
These are cups for every day: the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table, a coffee at the desk, a slow weekend breakfast on a tray. Because each design is different, everyone can tell whose cup is whose, which is handy in a shared house or when friends stay for the afternoon. A set of three also suits a small household that likes a spare, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming present for someone drawn to a botanical look. Between uses they sit well on an open kitchen shelf, where the hand-painted leaves earn their space.
The decoration is handpainted, so the brushwork varies a little from cup to cup, and that small irregularity is part of the charm rather than a flaw. Looking after them is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they can go in the microwave to rewarm a drink that has cooled, and they are suitable for the oven as well. For a relaxed table, set the three out together on a wooden tray or a marble-topped side table, turning the handles the same way so the different designs face the room side by side.
