Description
This is a small stoneware cup, painted by hand with soft clouds drifting across a blue ground. It holds 110ml, which makes it a little cup, not a mug: the right size for a warm milk, a short juice or an espresso. It stands 5.5cm tall and measures 7.5cm across, with a gently uneven rim, a body that narrows towards its foot and a thick, rounded loop handle. Small enough to sit in the palm of a hand, it feels like a proper cup rather than a toy.
As children's tableware, it gives a young one a cup of their own at the breakfast table, sized for the small drinks that suit small appetites. It works just as well for grown-ups: keep it beside the coffee machine for espressos, or bring it out with the teapot when a small after-dinner cup is all anyone wants. Between meals it can live on an open shelf in the kitchen or a child's room, where the clouds keep it cheerful whether in use or simply on display.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and weighs 0.15KG. It goes in the dishwasher, in the microwave for warming a drink and in the oven, so looking after it takes no special effort. Because the clouds are painted by hand, each cup carries small differences in the shape and placing of the pattern, and that is part of its charm. The styling props shown are not included. For a cheerful table, pair it with simple plates and let the clouds take the lead, or give everyone at breakfast a cup each so the pattern repeats along the table.
