Description
Our Paula cup is a round, generous stoneware cup with a body that swells like a ball and a looped handle finished in a bright metallic lustre. Its green reactive glaze is flecked and splashed with the same lustre, so the surface catches the light from every side. It holds 275ml, a full cup of tea or a milky coffee rather than a dainty espresso. At 9cm across and 8cm tall it sits low and wide, and at 0.24KG it is light enough to lift easily when full.
It suits the slow first cup of the morning at the kitchen table, an afternoon tea on the sofa or a hot chocolate at the end of the day. The rounded body fits neatly in a cupped hand, and the open ring handle gives a comfortable, easy hold. With so much movement in the glaze, it brings a little sparkle to a plain breakfast table, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who likes their tea served in something special. Stoneware holds heat well, so the cup feels warm and solid in the hands while the drink settles.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so the flecks and patches of lustre fall differently on every piece and yours will carry a pattern of its own. It goes in the dishwasher, which keeps everyday care simple. For styling, set it beside plain cream plates so the green and the metallic sheen catch the eye, or gather a few on a wooden tray next to a teapot for an easy afternoon tea.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 275ml, enough for a full cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, and it stands 8cm tall and 9cm across.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The maker states that it goes in the dishwasher, so it can be washed along with your everyday cups and plates.
What material is used for the cup?
It is made of 100% stoneware, finished in a green reactive glaze with a bright metallic lustre on the handle and flecked across the body.
Is every cup exactly the same?
Not quite. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the flecks of lustre and the depth of green fall a little differently on every cup.
How heavy is the cup?
It weighs 0.24KG, so it is easy to lift with a full drink and comfortable to hold through a long, slow cup of tea.
