Description
This wide, low stoneware cup holds 250ml, a generous measure for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee. At 11cm across and 7cm tall it sits closer to a breakfast cup than a tall mug, with a flared bowl that opens out from a narrower foot to a gently uneven rim. The finish is a vivid reactive glaze, and the multicoloured surface runs in long drips from the rim down the sides, settling into soft, cloudy patches. Reactive glazes move and pool in the kiln, so no two pieces fire quite alike, and yours will have its own pattern of runs.
We see it as a cup for slow mornings at the kitchen table: a latte, a strong breakfast tea, or a hot chocolate on a cold weekend. A wide, open bowl lets a drink cool sooner than a narrow mug, which suits anyone who likes to start sipping straight away. The loop handle runs from just under the rim almost to the foot, and at 0.271KG the cup is light for its size. It works just as well at a desk through the working day or on a breakfast tray in bed, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea or coffee drinker who prefers a cup with some character.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay body that holds heat well, and the reactive glaze covers both the inside and the outside. It goes in the dishwasher, so it can earn its place in daily use without special treatment. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so warm milk in a pan first and pour it in once hot. For the table, pair it with plain, pale plates and let the cup bring the colour, or mix it with other glazed stoneware for a relaxed, collected look. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 250ml, a generous measure for tea, a latte or a hot chocolate, and more than a small teacup.
What size is the cup?
It is 11cm across and 7cm tall, a wide, low shape that sits between a teacup and a mug, and it weighs 0.271KG.
What is the cup made of?
It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay body that holds heat well, finished in a vivid reactive glaze.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The cup goes in the dishwasher, so it is easy to keep in everyday use at home.
Can I use it in the microwave or the oven?
No. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so heat drinks separately before pouring.
Is every cup glazed exactly the same?
No two are quite alike. A reactive glaze moves in the kiln, so the drips and patches on the multicoloured surface vary from cup to cup.
