Description
This is a stoneware cup with a fluted body, its sides formed into fine vertical ribs that run from the rim down to a narrower foot. It holds 220ml, which makes it a proper cup for tea or coffee rather than a big mug, and it measures 8.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, so it is as wide at the rim as it is tall. An open loop handle curves out from one side. The green glaze has a high shine that catches the light along every rib, and it covers both the outside and the inside of the cup.
It is an everyday cup for the kitchen table or the breakfast bar: the morning tea, a latte, a mid-afternoon coffee with a biscuit on the side. At 0.25KG it sits light in the hand, and the 220ml size suits a slower cup at the desk or a pot of tea shared at the weekend, poured a cup at a time. Because it is not oversized, it also works for guests after dinner, when a large mug would feel like too much. Green ribbed stoneware suits a farmhouse kitchen, a cottage dresser or a plain modern table equally well.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at a high temperature, and it holds heat well. The maker states that this cup goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a tea that has cooled can be warmed again in the microwave and the cup can go straight into the dishwasher afterwards. The finish is a solid coloured glaze rather than a printed pattern, which leaves the ribs as the main detail. For styling, hang a few on hooks or line them along an open shelf with the handles turned the same way, so the fluting reads as one run of green and every cup stays within easy reach.
