Description
This is a round stoneware cup with a 275ml capacity, which makes it a generous cup rather than a dainty one, with room for a proper tea or a milky coffee. It stands 8cm tall and measures 9cm across, so the body is a little wider than it is tall, and that rounded, almost ball-like shape sits comfortably in a cupped hand. A closed loop handle gives it a sure hold. The blue reactive glaze is speckled and layered, gathering in drips towards the base.
The maker states it is food safe, so it belongs at the breakfast table, on a desk for the mid-morning coffee or beside the sofa for an evening tea. The low, wide form fits neatly between two hands on a cold day, and the size suits anyone who finds an espresso cup too small and a tall mug too much. It makes a thoughtful gift for a tea drinker or for someone setting up a first home, and a few together look well on an open shelf or a dresser, where daylight brings out the glaze.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and it weighs 0.26KG. The maker rates it dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it goes in the dishwasher after breakfast and into the microwave when a coffee has gone cold. A reactive glaze changes as it fires, so the speckling and the drips differ from cup to cup and each one is a little different from the next. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed table, set it with plain linen and unglazed wood, and let the glaze carry the colour.
