Description
This is a small footed cup in beige stoneware, 8.5cm across and 7cm tall, with a loop handle that takes a finger comfortably and a rim that rises and dips gently rather than running perfectly level. It holds 175ml, which makes it a cup for tea, coffee or a cappuccino rather than a mug, and at 0.208KG it sits light in the hand. The bowl flares out from a narrow foot, and the vivid reactive glaze carries a speckle that gathers most thickly towards the base.
It belongs at the breakfast table and on the kitchen counter, for the first coffee of the morning or an afternoon pot of tea poured a cup at a time. The modest size suits anyone who likes a drink finished while it is still hot, and a footed cup brings a little ceremony to a weekend tray or to guests gathered round the table. Between uses it looks just as at home on an open shelf or behind the glass of a kitchen cabinet, so it earns its place even when the kettle is cold.
The cup is made of 100% stoneware, and stoneware holds heat well, which suits a slow cup of tea. Its finish is a vivid reactive glaze; reactive glazes move and pool as they are fired, so each piece settles into its own spread of speckle and no two finish quite alike. Care is simple, because it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. For styling, set it on a linen napkin or a wooden board, where the speckle and the softly uneven rim show at their best, or line a few up on a shelf by the kettle so they are always within reach.
