Odile Wavy Stoneware Mugs 250ml Set of 4 - Pink

This is a set of four stoneware mugs, each standing on a short footed pedestal like a small goblet, with a wavy ridge running round the top of the foot. Each holds 250ml, a comfortable size for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee, and measures 9cm across and 10.5cm tall. The pink reactive glaze is paler near the rim and deepens towards the base, where it gathers in soft drips above the wavy edge, so the colour seems to rise up the body of the mug. Stoneware is dense and hard wearing, which is why it suits a mug that gets used every day.

Four matching mugs suit a small household or a cosy kitchen shelf, and they bring a little ceremony to the morning tea round without any fuss. The raised foot lifts each mug off the table, which gives a tray of hot drinks a pretty, slightly old fashioned look for a weekend breakfast, an afternoon with friends or a pot of tea after Sunday lunch. The open loop handle takes a finger easily, and the flared body sits comfortably in a cupped hand on a cold evening. They would also make a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a first home or anyone who likes pottery with character.

The mugs are made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so the drip line and the depth of pink vary a little from one piece to the next; we think that variation is the charm of it. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they can be warmed in the microwave and they can go in the oven. For a styling note, set them out on a pale wooden tray or a marble surface, where the pink glaze and the wavy foot have room to show.

How much does each mug hold?

Each mug holds 250ml, a comfortable size for a full cup of tea or a milky coffee rather than a small espresso.

Can the mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. They go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can also go in the oven, so everyday care is simple.

What size are the mugs?

Each mug is 9cm across and 10.5cm tall, and it stands on a raised foot with a wavy ridge round its top.

What are the mugs made of?

They are made of 100% stoneware with a pink reactive glaze that is paler near the rim and deeper towards the foot.

Will every mug look exactly the same?

Not exactly. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the drips and the depth of pink differ slightly between the four mugs.

What is included?

You receive four mugs, all in pink with the same wavy foot and loop handle. The styling props shown are not included.
