Description
This round-bellied stoneware cup holds 275ml and wears a grey reactive crackle glaze. It is 9cm across and 8cm tall, with a full, rounded body and a loop handle. The crackle runs as a fine web of lines through the glaze, and the lower half carries a deeper, speckled band where the glaze has reacted. Reactive glazes shift as they fire, so no two pieces come out quite alike, and the cup you receive will carry its own markings.
At 275ml it takes a proper cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, which makes it an easy everyday cup for the dining table, the kitchen counter or the desk. Bring it out for a slow weekend breakfast or a mid-afternoon break with a book. It suits anyone who prefers tableware with a little character over plain, uniform pieces, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea drinker, a coffee lover or someone setting up a new home.
Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well. The cup goes in the dishwasher, so everyday washing up is simple, but it is not for the microwave or the oven: warm milk in a pan first, then pour. At 0.26KG it is light enough to reach for every day without a second thought. Crackle glazes are prized for the fine lines that form across the surface, and those lines are part of the finish rather than a fault. For a relaxed kitchen look, line a few up on an open shelf or on a tray beside the kettle, where the glossy glaze catches the light and the speckled band at the base shows at its best.
