Description
This is a pair of handleless stoneware cups in cream, each holding 250ml and measuring 8cm across and 9cm tall. A speckled surface runs over both cups, and each carries stripes, though not the same ones: one has a band of short strokes circling the top, while the other has long stripes running from the rim almost to the base. They are sold as a set of 2, so a pair arrives together, with just enough difference between them to tell whose cup is whose.
At 250ml, each cup is sized for a full coffee or tea, water at the table or juice at breakfast. With no handle, it sits in the palm like a small tumbler, which suits a slow morning in the kitchen, a drink at the desk or two places laid at the dining table. The cream tone sits easily on an open kitchen shelf among wood and natural textures, and as a pair the cups make a thoughtful gift for a couple or a new home.
Each cup is decorated by hand, so every piece is unique and the strokes will differ a little from cup to cup. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and these cups go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so warming a drink or clearing up after breakfast takes no special handling. The oven rating also lets them double as single-portion dishes for a baked pudding or a small egg custard. For a relaxed table, set them beside plain cream plates and a linen napkin, or stand the pair on an open shelf with the long-striped cup in front, where the hand-decorated detail catches the eye.
