Description
These Paula cups come as a set of four, each a rounded stoneware body with a loop handle and a reactive crackle glaze in grey. Fine crazing runs through the glaze across the upper part of each cup, and around the base the glaze breaks into a darker, mottled band with a speckled, earthy look. Each cup holds 275ml and measures 9cm across and 8cm tall, so it sits between a classic coffee cup and a full mug: generous enough for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee, yet compact in the hand. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a slow morning drink.
The rounded shape sits comfortably in cupped hands, which makes these a natural choice for the breakfast table, a weekend brunch or an afternoon cup of tea with friends. Four cups suit a family of four or a small gathering, and they look settled on an open shelf between uses. They sit well in a kitchen of natural wood, linen and plain ceramics, and they work just as well on a desk or a bedside table for a quiet coffee while you read. They also make a thoughtful gift for anyone who prefers glazed stoneware with a little character over plain, smooth china.
The cups are 100% stoneware with a reactive, crackle glaze, and the maker confirms they go in the dishwasher, so everyday washing up is simple. They are not for the microwave or the oven, so warm milk in a pan before pouring it into the cup. Reactive glazes shift in the kiln, so the pattern varies from piece to piece and each cup has its own markings. For a relaxed table, pair them with linen napkins and wooden boards, and let the crackled grey glaze bring the texture.
