Description
This is a set of four handleless stoneware cups, each 7cm across and 7cm tall with a capacity of 150ml. What makes them worth a second look is that no two match: every cup carries its own hand-stamped pattern, with rows of little blooms and scrolling petals on some and a tight geometric lattice on another, all finished with a fine contrasting line at the rim and a neat foot at the base. At 150ml they are small cups rather than mugs, sized for a short coffee, a cortado or a modest cup of tea, and with no handle they sit snugly in a cupped hand. Together the four read as a multicoloured family rather than a uniform row.
They earn a place on the kitchen or dining table every day: a morning coffee, juice with breakfast, a short tea in the afternoon. When friends visit, give each person a different pattern and nobody muddles their cup halfway through the evening. Their size makes them useful well beyond drinks too, for a scoop of yoghurt and granola, a few olives or nuts with an aperitif, or a small portion of dessert. Because they are oven safe, they also double as little baking pots for a single custard or crumble, going straight from the oven to the table.
They are made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic well suited to daily use. The patterns are hand-stamped, so each print carries the small variations of work done by hand, and no two prints are quite alike. Care is simple: they are dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so warming milk or reheating a little sauce in one is no trouble. For styling, resist lining them up in pattern order; mix them across a tray or open shelf and let the floral and geometric designs play off each other.
