Description
This is a round stoneware cup with a full, bellied body and a generous loop handle, glazed in sweeping bands of green. The colour runs on the diagonal, from a lighter green at the rim through a speckled middle band to a deeper green at the base, so the cup looks a little different from every side. It is 9cm across and 8cm tall and holds 275ml, a comfortable size for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee, and it weighs 0.24KG.
The rounded body sits naturally cupped in two hands, which makes it a good cup for slow weekend mornings, the reading chair or the desk on a cold afternoon. It suits a kitchen dresser of earthy, rustic tableware, and it looks just as much at home on a tray in the sitting room or on a bedside table with a herbal tea before bed. As a gift it stands well on its own for someone who likes their tea in something with character, or wrapped with a bag of their favourite coffee beans.
The cup is 100% stoneware, finished in a reactive glaze. Reactive glazes move and pool in the kiln, so the bands and speckles fall a little differently on each piece and no two are quite alike. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which is why it has long been a favourite for hot drinks. For everyday use it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, handy for warming a small pudding. For styling, line up a few on an open kitchen shelf or a wooden board, where the greens sit well beside linen, oak and plain white china.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 275ml, a comfortable size for a cup of tea or a milky coffee, and it is 9cm across and 8cm tall.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. It goes in both the dishwasher and the microwave, and the oven too, so it fits easily into everyday kitchen routines.
What material is the cup?
It is 100% stoneware finished in a reactive glaze. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic that holds heat well.
Is every cup's glaze identical?
No. The reactive glaze moves in the kiln, so the bands of green and the speckling vary a little from cup to cup, and each one is slightly individual.
How heavy is the cup?
It weighs 0.24KG, so it is easy to hold in one hand by its loop handle or cupped in both.
