Description
This is a handleless stoneware cup that holds 195ml, the right size for a coffee or a cup of tea rather than a mug. It is finished in a beige reactive glaze, speckled across its whole surface and growing paler towards the rim, so its look shifts as you turn it. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, which means no two cups come out quite alike: yours will carry its own pattern of flecks. Made of 100% stoneware and weighing 0.18KG, it feels light yet solid in the palm.
Without a handle, it is a cup to cradle in both hands, which suits a slow morning coffee at the kitchen table or tea poured from the pot after dinner. It is a good size for a cortado or an Americano, and its rounded body tapers towards a narrow base, so it sits neatly on a saucer or a tray. Because it is food safe and goes in the microwave, it also works for a small portion of yoghurt, a dip at the table or a drink reheated once the first pour has gone cold.
The cup is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe, so it goes from the table straight into the dishwasher and can be warmed in the microwave or the oven before a drink is poured. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired material that holds heat well. Expect the shade and the spread of flecks to vary a little from one cup to the next; that is the nature of a reactive glaze rather than a flaw. For a relaxed table, set it on a wooden tray beside linen napkins, or line a few along an open shelf, where the beige glaze sits easily with natural wood and woven baskets.
