Description
This is a wide, shallow stoneware cup with its own matching saucer, both shaped with soft wavy fluting that runs up the sides to a scalloped rim. The cup holds 220ml and is 11cm across and 5cm tall; the saucer is 15cm across and 2cm tall, which leaves room around the cup for a teaspoon or a biscuit. At 220ml this is a proper teacup, or a cup for a milky coffee, rather than a mug.
It suits a slow pot of tea at the kitchen table, an afternoon coffee with a friend, or a tray carried out to the garden on a mild day. The saucer catches drips and gives a warm cup somewhere to rest, so it is a good choice for anyone who likes tea served properly rather than in a mug at the desk. The blue glaze sits happily beside plain everyday china and looks lovely against a wooden table, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea lover, a new home or a birthday.
Both pieces are 100% stoneware in a solid coloured blue glaze, which runs deeper towards the base of the cup and lighter over the ridges, with a fine darker edge along each rim. They can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so the cup can go in the dishwasher after breakfast and into the microwave when a forgotten cup of tea needs warming. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, and the pair weighs 0.5KG together, a satisfying weight in the hand. To style it, stand the cup on its saucer on an open shelf so the wavy edges show, or bring it out on a wooden tray with your everyday china.
