Description
These are small stoneware mugs, sold as a set of four, each holding 140ml and standing 8cm tall and 7cm across. That capacity makes them coffee cups more than everyday mugs: right for a cortado, an espresso with a splash of milk or a short cup of tea, rather than a big morning brew. Each one is finished in a reactive glaze laid in horizontal bands, and every mug wears its own multicoloured combination, so the four sit together as a family without matching. The glaze is glossy, and where one band meets the next the line wanders a little, which gives the surface real depth.
We see them earning their place beside the coffee machine, where a small mug suits a strong, short drink far better than a tall one. They make good after-dinner cups when friends linger at the table, and a set of four covers a couple who like to host or a household where everyone claims a favourite. The round loop handle is generous for a cup of this size, so it is easy to hold even with two fingers through it. They sit happily in a kitchen or dining room that already has plenty of colour, and they bring a cheerful lift to plain everyday tableware.
Each mug is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, and it holds heat well, which suits a short coffee. They go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a drink that has gone cold, or warming the cups before you pour, needs no special care. Reactive glazes move as they fire, so no two pieces come out exactly alike and the banding on each mug is its own. To style them, hang all four in a row on hooks under a shelf, or line them up on a tray by the kettle so the glazes read as one display.

Frequently Asked
How much does each mug hold?
Each mug holds 140ml, which makes it a small coffee cup for a cortado, a short coffee or a little tea rather than a large everyday mug.
What size are the mugs?
Each mug is 7cm across and 8cm tall, with a round loop handle on the side, so it sits small and neat in the hand.
Can they go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so warming them before serving is simple.
Of what material are the mugs made?
They are 100% stoneware with a glossy reactive glaze laid in horizontal bands, and each mug in the set has its own multicoloured combination.
Do all four mugs look the same?
No. Each mug has a different multicoloured banding, and because reactive glazes move as they fire, no two pieces come out exactly alike.
