Description
This stoneware cup carries a painted chicken on its side, set among small flowers and sprigs, with the bird's tail feathers sweeping round onto a broad, rounded handle. The decoration is multicoloured, and the inside of the cup is finished in a single contrasting shade that shows every time it is lifted. We like that the handle carries the design rather than sitting apart from it. It holds 290ml, a generous size for a full cup of tea or a milky coffee. It is a low, wide cup, 9.5cm across and 7.5cm tall, and weighs 0.3KG.
It belongs on the kitchen table at breakfast, on a tray carried up for a slow weekend morning, or beside the teapot when friends visit. The chicken and flowers give it a country-kitchen character, so it works as the one cheerful cup among plainer everyday stoneware, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who keeps hens or loves a farmhouse look. It is equally at home in a sunny breakfast nook, a cottage kitchen or a home office, where a hot drink at the desk is a small treat through the working day.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well. The maker rates this cup as dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it goes in the dishwasher with the rest of the breakfast things, a cooled tea can be warmed through in the microwave, and the cup can sit in a warm oven to take the chill off before pouring. The styling props shown are not included. Keep it out on an open shelf or a dresser where the painted handle can be seen, and let it be the cheerful note among plainer pieces.
