Description
Ninka is a 100% stoneware cup, hand decorated with flowing grey bands that curve and taper from rim to base like the grain in a piece of wood. It measures 7.5cm across and 8cm tall, with straight sides and a rounded loop handle. At 200ml it is a coffee or tea cup size rather than a full mug, which suits a small latte, a milky coffee or a cup of tea poured from the pot. Stoneware holds heat well, and at 0.266KG the cup has a reassuring weight in the hand.
It belongs wherever a smaller hot drink makes sense: the kitchen table for the first coffee of the day, a tray in the living room for afternoon tea, or a desk where a compact cup takes up little room beside a laptop. The size also makes it easy to hold in both hands on a cold morning. Because the decoration is done by hand, the bands carry the soft edges and slight unevenness of real brushwork, so it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who prefers hand-painted pieces to anything printed. The grey sits quietly in a calm, simple kitchen and works well at a coffee station with other stoneware.
The finish is hand decoration on a solid glaze, and the care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to reheat a cooling drink, and it can go in the oven too. That means no special washing up and no need to set it aside as a shelf piece. For styling, keep it with a teapot on a small wooden board or tray, and pair it with plain, undecorated tableware so the grey brushwork stays the focus of the table.
