Description
This stoneware cup holds 250ml and measures 11cm across and 7cm tall, finished in a vivid reactive glaze. Its sides flare out from a small foot to a softly wavy rim, and a slim loop handle curves from just below the lip towards the base. The glaze breaks blue around the rim and gathers blue inside the bowl, where it settles into a mottled pattern you only notice when you look into the cup.
At 250ml it is a generous cup for tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, a comfortable everyday size. The wide, open mouth makes it a pleasant cup for slow mornings in the kitchen, for pouring from a teapot when friends visit, or for a quiet drink in a reading chair. It suits anyone who likes tableware with a bit of character rather than perfectly matching china, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a keen tea drinker. Its reactive glaze gives it enough interest to sit happily beside the plain stoneware already in your cupboard.
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds the warmth of a hot drink well. It goes in the dishwasher, which keeps it practical for daily use, but it is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so heat milk in a pan before pouring. Reactive glazes shift as they fire, so no two pieces leave the kiln quite alike and the spread of blue varies a little from cup to cup. It weighs 0.271KG. To style it, keep it on an open shelf with the handle turned outwards, where the glaze inside catches the light; the styling props shown are not included.
