Description
This is a pair of stoneware cups, each decorated with its own floral pattern, so the two match in shape and size but not in design. One carries large open blooms, scattered leaves and a small butterfly; the other is covered from rim to base in small, closely packed flowers. Both have a rounded, bellied body, a neat edged rim and a generous loop handle. Each cup holds 330ml, a full mug size for tea or coffee rather than a small cup for espresso, and stands 8.5cm tall and 9cm across. The overall effect is multicoloured and cheerful, with plenty to look at on each side.
In the kitchen they suit a morning tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. Because the patterns differ, they make an easy pair for two people sharing a breakfast table, each with a cup that is plainly theirs. Between uses they earn a place on an open shelf or in a cubby of a kitchen dresser, where the decoration does as much work as a small picture. As a gift for a new home, or for someone who likes patterned tableware, a pair already chosen to sit together saves the guesswork.
The cups are made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing material that holds heat well. Care is straightforward: they go in the dishwasher, in the microwave for warming a drink, and in the oven too. For styling, let the two patterns sit side by side on a plain shelf or hang them from hooks, and keep what surrounds them simple so the flowers stay the focus. The styling props shown are not included.
