Description
This is a set of three stoneware cups, each holding 220ml and each hand-painted with its own pattern: a burst of fine fronds on one, a trailing leafy sprig on the second and broad, sweeping petals on the third. The decoration is painted by hand over a solid glaze, so together the three read as multicoloured and a little loose, more like a sketchbook than a print. At 7.5cm across and 8.5cm tall they are compact cups with a rounded loop handle, and 220ml is the right size for a regular coffee or a proper cup of tea rather than an oversized brew.
Because the patterns differ but the shape is shared, the three cups sit happily together on a breakfast table or a tea tray without looking too matched. They suit a kitchen with open shelving, a small household that wants a cup each, or anyone who likes to reach for a favourite in the morning. A set of three also makes a thoughtful housewarming present for someone who drinks coffee and tea through the day. Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic that holds heat well, which makes it a good choice for cups in everyday use.
The cups are made entirely of stoneware, with the hand-painted decoration laid over a solid glaze. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they go in the microwave to reheat a drink that has gone cold, and they go in the oven too, so they can stand in a low oven to warm before a pot of coffee is poured. Hand-painting by its nature leaves small differences in each brushstroke, which is part of the charm of pieces made this way. As a practical styling note, hang the three by their handles from a cup tree or from hooks beneath a shelf, where the patterns stay on view and the worktop stays clear.
