Description
Our Jules cup is a beige stoneware cup with a rounded, bellied body that narrows a little towards the rim, and a generous loop handle. It stands 8cm tall and measures 9cm across, so it sits low and wide rather than tall and narrow. Its 300ml capacity takes a proper cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate. The finish is a reactive glaze, finely speckled across the body and deepening towards the rim and along the handle, where the glaze runs more thickly. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a drink taken slowly.
This is an everyday cup for the kitchen table, the breakfast tray or the desk, sized for the second coffee of the morning as much as the first. It weighs 0.288KG. The beige glaze sits easily beside natural wood, linen, rattan and other stoneware, so it suits a relaxed, earthy kitchen as well as a pale, pared-back one. A single cup also makes a thoughtful gift for a tea or coffee drinker, perhaps paired with a favourite loose-leaf blend or a bag of freshly roasted beans. For a household that shares a pot, a few together look easy and unfussy on the table.
Care is simple. The cup goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to rewarm a drink that has cooled, and it is suitable for the oven too, so it fits an ordinary kitchen routine without special handling. Reactive glazes change as they fire, so the speckle and the way the glaze breaks at the rim vary a little from one cup to the next, and yours will have its own small differences within the same beige character. To style it, set two on a wooden board beside a teapot for a slow weekend breakfast, or hang a row from hooks under a shelf where the glaze can be seen.
