Description
This is a round stoneware cup with a full, almost globe-like body and a chunky loop handle, finished in a multicoloured reactive glaze. It measures 9cm across and 8cm tall and holds 275ml, which makes it a generous cup rather than a dainty one: enough for a proper morning tea or a long coffee, while still sitting comfortably in two hands. The glaze runs darker at the rim and drifts down the curve of the body, settling into lighter tones near the foot.
Its rounded shape suits slow mornings at the kitchen table, a mid-afternoon break at the desk, or a hot chocolate after a winter walk. The 275ml capacity covers most everyday drinks without the height of a tall mug, and at 0.26KG it is light enough to carry from room to room. Because a reactive glaze varies from piece to piece, it sits happily in a mismatched cupboard, and we think it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea lover or for someone setting up a first home.
The cup is made of 100% stoneware, a dense clay that holds heat well and stands up to daily use. Reactive glazes shift in the kiln as they fire, so each piece comes out a little different from the next; that variation is part of the character of the cup, not a flaw. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a cooled coffee or clearing up after breakfast takes no special thought. We like it on open shelving or a cup rack, where the curve of the body and the run of the glaze can be seen, or paired with simple, plain tableware so the glaze takes the attention.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 275ml, a generous size for tea or coffee, larger than a small coffee cup but without the height of a tall mug.
How big is the cup?
It is 9cm across and 8cm tall, with a rounded body and a loop handle on one side, and it weighs 0.26KG.
What material is the cup?
It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze, which gives each piece its own slightly different run of colour.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker states it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can also go in the oven.
Does every cup look exactly the same?
Not exactly. A reactive glaze shifts in the kiln as it fires, so the way the colours run and settle varies a little from one cup to the next.
