Description
This is a cup and saucer made in stoneware, finished in a pink glaze and shaped with deep vertical flutes that run from the foot of the cup to its rim. The rim of the cup and the edge of the saucer are both scalloped, so each flute finishes in a soft curve, and the cup sits wide and low in its saucer with an open, rounded handle. It holds 220ml, which makes it a generous tea or coffee cup rather than a mug: room for a proper cup of tea, a flat white or a milky cappuccino. The cup is 11cm across and 5cm tall, and the saucer is 15cm across and 2cm tall.
It belongs at the breakfast table and on the tray for afternoon tea, where the wide, open bowl leaves plenty of room for milk. The saucer gives a teaspoon somewhere to rest and catches drips as the cup travels from the kitchen to the sofa or a garden table. It suits anyone who likes the morning cup to feel a little more considered than a plain mug, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who takes tea seriously, for a birthday or a new home.
The body is 100% stoneware under a solid coloured glaze, so the pink runs evenly over both pieces, inside and outside the cup. Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well. Care is simple: the cup and saucer go in the dishwasher, and the maker lists them for the microwave and the oven too, so a drink gone cold can be warmed in the cup itself. Together they weigh 0.5KG. For a relaxed table, set the cup on a plain linen cloth or a wooden tray, where the fluting and the scalloped edge show at their best.
