Description
Our Millie cup is a small stoneware cup that holds 110ml, standing 7cm tall and 6cm across, with a rounded body and a generous loop handle. The upper part is glazed in a soft green and circled by a ring of cherries hanging from leafy stems, while the glaze stops short of the foot to leave a band of bare stoneware. At 110ml it is a drinking cup rather than a mug: a size that suits a child's drink and keeps portions sensible.
It sits in our kids tableware, made for the breakfast table, the afternoon snack and the tea party laid out on a play table. A cup of milk or water at this size is easy for a child to finish, and the loop handle stands well clear of the body, leaving room for small fingers. Grown-ups who like a short coffee will find it just as handy. Between uses it looks at home on an open shelf, a nursery dresser or a sunny windowsill, where the cherry band brings a cheerful note to a child's room or a family kitchen.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well. It weighs 0.134KG. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to warm a drink, and it can go in the oven too. The glaze has a gentle sheen and the rim follows a softly irregular line, so the cup has a crafted, relaxed look rather than a factory-flat one. For styling, pair it with plain white plates or other pieces in soft green so the cherries stay the focus, and keep a few together on a tray for a children's tea.
