Description
This is a stoneware cup with a fluted body: fine vertical ribs run from the rim to the foot, and the blue glaze gathers darker in each groove, so the colour shifts as the light moves across it. It holds 220ml, which makes it a generous coffee or tea cup rather than a mug, and it measures 8.5cm across and 8.5cm tall. The body tapers gently towards the base, and an open, looped handle curves out from just below the rim. Because it is as wide as it is tall, it has a compact, sturdy look on the table.
It is a cup for the everyday: a morning flat white, a cup of tea poured from the pot, or hot chocolate on a cold evening. The 220ml capacity suits a cappuccino or a milky tea without the bulk of a large mug. On a breakfast table or an open kitchen shelf the blue gives a deep, cool note beside white or sand-coloured tableware, and the ribbed surface catches the light in a way a plain cup does not. It suits anyone who likes to take their coffee slowly, and it makes a welcome housewarming gift for a friend setting up a first kitchen.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which suits a drink taken slowly. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so it can be warmed before a hot drink is poured. It weighs 0.25KG. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed table, set a few of these cups on a pale linen cloth beside white plates, where the blue and the fine ribbing show clearly.
