Description
This is a small brown stoneware cup with a rounded body, a ring-shaped handle and a scattering of hand-painted flowers across its surface. It holds 100ml, which makes it an espresso cup rather than a mug: the right size for a single shot, a short macchiato or a small, strong coffee after dinner. At 6.5cm across and 5.5cm tall, and weighing 0.15KG, it sits neatly in the palm, and the round handle leaves just enough room for a finger.
Made for food and drink, it belongs wherever coffee is brewed and served: the kitchen shelf beside the machine, a breakfast tray carried back to bed, or the table when guests linger after a meal. The small size suits other things too, such as a few mouthfuls of hot chocolate, a little milk or cream passed round with a pot of tea, or a dip set beside a plate of snacks. The painted flowers give it a cheerful, homely look that sits happily next to plain white crockery or among other hand-painted pieces in mixed patterns. Because each cup holds so little, a few of them on a tray look generous at the end of a dinner party without filling the table.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and painted by hand. Stoneware is dense, hard-wearing and holds heat well. Looking after it is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to warm a coffee that has gone cool, and it can go in the oven as well. For a relaxed display, line several along an open kitchen shelf with the handles all facing the same way, so the flowers read as one pattern.
