Description
This is a set of six multicoloured stoneware cups, each painted by hand with its own pattern, so no two look alike on the table. Across the six you will find hearts, clouds, stripes and spots, and the handles are painted too, some plain and some banded with stripes. Each cup holds 110ml and measures 7.5cm across and 5.5cm tall, which makes it a small cup rather than a mug: the right size for an espresso, a cortado or a short, strong tea. The shapes vary as well, with some cups flaring gently towards the rim and others standing straight-sided, each with a rounded loop handle for an easy hold.
Bring them out after dinner when coffee goes round the table, and the mix of patterns lets each guest keep track of which cup is theirs. They suit a kitchen shelf or an open dresser, and they add cheer to a breakfast tray or a slow weekend brunch. Because every pattern differs, the set makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift for someone who takes their coffee short. Stoneware holds heat well, a useful quality in a cup this small.
The cups are made entirely of stoneware and painted by hand, and the brushwork shows in every pattern, which is a large part of their charm. Care is straightforward: they go in the dishwasher, in the microwave and in the oven, so there is no need to set them aside for hand washing. For styling, hang them from a row of hooks under a shelf or line them up along an open shelf, and mix the patterns rather than grouping similar ones together; they look their best when the different designs sit side by side.
