Description
This is a pair of stoneware cups, each holding 200ml and measuring 9.5cm across and 7.5cm tall. The two share the same multicoloured palette but carry different patterns: one is painted with upright stripes, the other with scattered dots, and each has an embossed flower for its handle. At 200ml these are coffee or tea cups rather than mugs, the right size for a flat white, a cappuccino or a cup of tea poured from the pot. Stoneware holds heat well, and the rounded, squat body gives each cup a friendly, generous look.
They belong on a breakfast table or a weekend tray of coffee for two, and between uses they brighten a kitchen shelf or an open dresser. Because the pair do not match exactly, they make a cheerful gift for a couple, for a housewarming or for a friend who likes a little colour at the table. The size suits a milky coffee, a small hot chocolate or an afternoon cup of tea, and the cups are just as handy for sugar cubes or teaspoons beside the kettle. In a cupboard of plain mugs, these two give the morning routine a lift.
The decoration is painted by hand and the flowers are embossed, so each handle has raised petals you can feel under your fingers. Hand painting leaves small differences in line and tone from one piece to the next, which is part of the charm. Both cups go in the dishwasher and in the microwave, so a forgotten coffee can be warmed again; they do not go in the oven. For styling, let them be the one patterned piece on a plain table: stand them on simple saucers or a linen napkin and leave the stripes and dots to do the work.
