{"product_id":"paula-speckled-stoneware-cup-275ml-grey","title":"Paula Speckled Stoneware Cup 275ml - Grey","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a round stoneware cup with a loop handle, 9cm across and 8cm tall, and it holds 275ml. That makes it a generous size for tea or a milky coffee, roomier than a dainty teacup but without the height of a tall mug. The body swells out like a small ball before drawing in again at the rim, so it sits snugly in cupped hands. Its reactive glaze in grey runs in soft, blurred bands around the body, broken up by a fine speckle, with the deepest grey gathered at the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt earns its place at the breakfast table and on the kitchen shelf alike, from a slow morning coffee to an afternoon cup of tea shared with a friend or hot chocolate on a cold evening. It goes in the microwave, so a drink gone cold can be warmed again without pouring it into something else. It can go in the oven too, so it can double as a little baking dish for a single sponge pudding or an individual crumble. The grey sits in a calm, natural kitchen beside wood, linen and stone, and a pair makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a proper cup of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cup is made from 100% stoneware and weighs 0.26KG, so it feels solid in the hand without being heavy. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at a high temperature, which makes it hard-wearing for daily use, and it holds heat well. A reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the bands and speckle settle a little differently on every piece and yours will have its own character. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher with the rest of the everyday crockery. Hang a few by their handles from hooks under a kitchen shelf, or line them up along an open shelf so the soft grey bands are on show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReactive glaze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e275ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.26KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the cup hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt holds 275ml, a generous size for a cup of tea or a milky coffee, and it is 9cm across and 8cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes to both.
