Description
This is a breakfast set of 12 in stoneware, made up of cups, bowls and plates in one beige reactive glaze. The cup is 9cm across and 8cm tall with a rounded body and a loop handle, a comfortable size for a morning tea or coffee rather than a large mug. The bowl is 16cm across and 6cm tall, a good size for cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, and the plate is 20cm across, the size of a side or breakfast plate, right for toast, a croissant or a slice of cake.
We see it most at home on the kitchen table or the breakfast bar, laid for a slow weekend breakfast or a quick weekday one. Because the pieces match, it lays a table for a small household in one go, and it works just as well for a light lunch, a bowl of soup or dessert after dinner. The plates and bowls stack neatly on an open shelf, so the set can live in view rather than behind a cupboard door, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a first home or a couple setting up a kitchen.
Each piece is 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the speckle and the depth of beige vary a little from piece to piece. Care is simple: everything goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a bowl of porridge can be warmed and the plates heated before serving. The whole set weighs 5.04KG, a reassuring heft for pieces meant for everyday use. For styling, pair it with warm wood boards and linen napkins; the styling props shown are not included.
