Description
This is a round stoneware cup that holds 275ml, a generous size for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee without the bulk of a big mug. It stands 8cm tall and measures 9cm across, with a body that swells out like a ball and narrows slightly at the rim, plus a single loop handle on one side. The blue reactive glaze is what sets it apart. Reactive glazes move and settle in the kiln, and here the surface has broken into a dense, pitted speckle, so the cup looks closer to a weathered pebble than to anything printed.
It belongs at the breakfast table and on the open kitchen shelf, ready for the first tea of the morning or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. The 275ml size suits a latte, a milky coffee or a large herbal tea, and it is roomy enough to double as a small bowl for a scoop of ice cream, a serving of yoghurt with granola or a portion of dessert at a dinner party. Buy one for yourself, or give it to a friend who collects mismatched cups and enjoys a slow drink in a favourite chair.
Made from 100% stoneware, it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it in the oven before pouring or reheat a cooled drink in the microwave without decanting it. It weighs 0.26KG. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which suits a drink taken slowly. Because the glaze is reactive, the depth of the blue and the spread of the speckle vary from cup to cup, so yours will be its own. For a relaxed table, pair it with plain linen and a wooden board and let the glaze carry the look; the styling props shown are not included.
