Description
This stoneware cup is defined by its fluted sides: deep vertical ridges run from the rim down to the foot. The purple glaze reads lighter on the raised ribs and deeper in the grooves, so the colour shifts in tone as the light moves across it. It holds 220ml, which makes it a cup for tea or coffee rather than a big mug, a comfortable size for a morning brew or an after-dinner coffee. It measures 8.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, widening gently from a narrow foot to a broad rim, with a rounded loop handle. It weighs 0.25KG, so it sits lightly in the hand.
It earns its place on the breakfast table and in the kitchen cupboard. Use it for the first tea of the day, a coffee at your desk or a pot of tea shared at the weekend, when a row of fluted cups makes a laid table look considered without any fuss. The purple sits happily with wooden shelves, linen napkins and open dressers, and the ridged surface gives a plain table some texture. Because the size is modest, it suits anyone who prefers a smaller cup, finished while the drink is still hot, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea or coffee lover who likes something different.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which gives it a dense, sturdy body that holds heat well. This cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze, and looking after it is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it goes in the microwave for warming a drink that has gone cold, and it can go in the oven as well. As a styling note, line a few up on an open shelf with the handles turned the same way, so the ridges read as one rhythm along the shelf. The styling props shown are not included.
