Description
The Fleur cup is a 200ml stoneware cup in cream, its body pressed into soft vertical ribs that run from base to rim. A reactive glaze thins over each ridge and gathers darker in the grooves and along the lip, which gives the surface real depth and lets every rib catch the light. At 8cm across and 7cm tall it is a compact, rounded shape with an open loop handle, and at 0.17KG it sits lightly in the hand. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so no two cups come out quite alike.
Holding 200ml, this is a coffee or tea cup rather than a mug: the right size for a flat white, a cappuccino or a proper cup of tea, poured fresh and finished while it is still hot. It suits the breakfast table and the kitchen counter, and it is a good choice for guests at afternoon tea, where a cup feels more considered than a heavy mug. Stoneware holds heat well, and its warmth is welcome in cupped hands on a cold morning. Kept on an open shelf, its ribbed outline and handle look tidy between uses.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to reheat a drink, and it can go in the oven, which is handy for warming cups before you pour. Because the glaze varies from piece to piece, cups bought together will sit side by side as a family rather than as identical copies, which suits a relaxed table well. For styling, we would let the ribs lead: pair the cup with plain linen and a wooden board, and set it where morning light falls across the ridges so the glaze shows its full range of tone.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 200ml, which makes it a coffee or tea cup rather than a mug, sized for a flat white, a cappuccino or a cup of tea.

Not exactly. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the way it gathers along each rib and around the rim varies a little from cup to cup.
