Description
These cream stoneware Christmas cups come as a set of four, each carrying a festive stocking motif on the front: a striped stocking filled with sprigs and berries. Every cup is straight-sided with a rounded handle and a narrow band at the base, and the inside is glazed in a contrasting shade that shows each time you look into your drink. At 300ml they hold a generous measure, closer to a mug than a dainty teacup, and each stands 8cm tall and 7.5cm across, a comfortable size to wrap both hands around.
These suit the everyday drinks of December: a morning coffee, tea shared at the kitchen table, hot chocolate after a walk in the cold. Four matching cups cover a small household, or a couple with guests, so everyone at the table drinks from the same design through the Christmas holidays. We think they also make a ready-made gift for a friend who loves the festive season, or a cheerful swap for your everyday cups once the tree goes up. Kept on an open shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet between uses, they become part of the seasonal decoration.
Each cup is made from 100% stoneware with a glazed finish. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a slow cup of tea on a cold afternoon. They go in the dishwasher, which helps when all four come out at once for a family breakfast, and they go in the microwave too, so a coffee that has gone cool can be warmed through in the cup. They are not made for the oven. For styling, line all four along a dresser shelf with the stocking facing forward, or hang them from hooks above the kettle so the design greets you each morning.
