Description
This is a small stoneware cup holding 100ml, which makes it an espresso cup rather than a mug: the right size for a single or double shot, or a short, strong coffee after dinner. It measures 6.5cm across and 5.5cm tall and weighs 0.15KG, so it sits comfortably in one hand. The body is a soft green with a gently uneven rim, scattered with sun motifs painted by hand, and a round loop handle in a contrasting shade gives it a cheerful lift. The handpainted finish lends it a relaxed, painterly look that suits an everyday coffee.
Use it for the first espresso of the morning, an afternoon coffee at the kitchen table, or a small pour of hot chocolate when a full mug would be too much. Because it is food safe, it can also hold a portion of dip, a spoonful of jam at breakfast or a few olives beside a drink. It suits anyone with an espresso machine or a stovetop pot, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for a coffee lover who likes a bit of colour on the table.
It is made of 100% stoneware, and stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well. The cup is dishwasher safe, so it goes in with the everyday crockery, and microwave safe for warming milk or reheating a coffee that has gone cold. It is oven safe too. The sun motifs are painted by hand, loosely drawn and placed freely around the body, so the pattern has an easy, informal feel. To style it, keep it on a small tray beside the coffee machine with a tin of beans, or line up a few along a kitchen shelf where they catch the morning light; the styling props shown are not included.
