Description
This cream stoneware cup comes with its own matching saucer, and both are shaped with soft vertical ribs that end in a wavy, scalloped edge. The cup holds 220ml, which makes it a generous teacup or cappuccino cup rather than a mug. It is 11cm across and 5cm tall, with a wide, open bowl and a looped handle. The saucer is 15cm across and 2cm tall and has the same rippled rim. Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well, a good quality in a cup for the first drink of the morning.
It belongs on the breakfast table, beside the teapot at an afternoon tea, or in your hands on a slow weekend morning with a milky coffee. The open shape leaves plenty of room for froth, and the saucer gives you somewhere to rest a teaspoon or a biscuit. In a kitchen or dining room with open shelving, the ribbed sides catch the light and add softness and texture. It suits anyone who likes tea served properly, and it makes a thoughtful present for a housewarming, a birthday or a friend who collects pretty cups.
Both pieces are made from 100% stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze, so the cream runs evenly over the cup inside and out and across the saucer. Care is easy: both go in the dishwasher, and the cup goes in the microwave when a drink has gone cold. They can go in the oven too, which is handy for warming the cup before you pour the tea. To style it on an open shelf, stand the cup on its saucer with the handle turned to the side so the wavy profile shows. You could also line up a few on a tray for a little tea station on the kitchen counter.
