Description
This stoneware cup is fluted all the way round: evenly spaced vertical grooves run from the rim to the foot, and the glossy red glaze catches the light along every ridge. It holds 220ml, which makes it a cup rather than a large mug, a comfortable size for a cup of tea or a milky coffee. It is 8.5cm across and 8.5cm tall and weighs 0.23KG. The body narrows gently from a wide rim to a smaller foot, and an open looped handle sits on one side, curving out from below the rim.
It is made for the drinks of an ordinary day: the first coffee at the kitchen table, a cup of tea at the desk, hot chocolate in the sitting room on a cold evening. It suits anyone who prefers a smaller cup to a heavy mug, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea drinker. Stoneware holds heat well, a good quality in a material for hot drinks. As it can go in the microwave, a drink that has gone cold can be warmed again in the cup. The red brings colour to a breakfast table laid for family or friends, and a few on a tray look cheerful when guests arrive.
The cup is 100% stoneware, finished in a solid coloured glaze with a glossy surface, and the narrow ring at the foot is left bare. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher after use, and it can go in the microwave and in the oven, so it can be warmed before a drink is poured. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. For styling, line a few along an open kitchen shelf against a pale wall, where the fluting and the red show at their best; the styling props shown are not included.
