Description
This is a small stoneware cup with a footed base, a round loop handle and a softly uneven rim, finished in a vivid reactive glaze that gives it a multicoloured surface. It holds 175ml, which makes it a tea or coffee cup rather than a mug: the right size for tea poured from a pot or a morning coffee. It measures 8.5cm across and 7cm tall and weighs 0.212KG, so it is light to lift. The body is 100% stoneware, a dense clay fired hard, and stoneware holds heat well.
Use it at the breakfast table, at a desk for a mid-morning coffee or on a tray beside the sofa in the afternoon. The footed base lifts the bowl of the cup a little, and the ring handle takes a finger, so it sits neatly in the hand. It suits anyone who prefers a smaller, slower cup to a large mug, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea drinker. Because the glaze is reactive, it moves and pools in the kiln, so the runs and speckles vary from one piece to the next; buy several and each will differ slightly, which looks good mixed together on a table.
Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so you can warm it before pouring or reheat a drink that has gone cold. The vivid reactive glaze covers the inside and outside of the cup, and a fired glaze is smooth and glassy, which makes it straightforward to wash. For styling, the multicoloured glaze works beside plain, undecorated tableware, where it brings a point of colour to the table, and it sits well on a wooden tray or a linen cloth. Add a small plate of your own for a biscuit at the side.
