Description
This is a handleless cup in brown stoneware, finished in a reactive glaze that breaks into a dense speckle across the body and over the rim. It holds 195ml, which makes it a coffee or tea cup rather than a mug: the right size for a cappuccino, a breakfast tea or an afternoon cup that is finished while it is still hot. The body is rounded and tapers gently towards a narrow foot, so it sits comfortably in the palm, and at 0.18KG it feels light to lift.
Without a handle, it suits an unhurried drink: a morning coffee at the kitchen table, a pot of tea shared at the weekend, or a cup carried to a desk and cradled in both hands. Its use goes beyond drinks, too. At the table it holds a small helping of yoghurt, a dessert, a dipping sauce or a handful of nuts beside the main dishes, and because it goes in the oven a small pudding can be baked in it. It suits anyone who likes everyday pieces with an earthy, speckled look, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea or coffee drinker.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which leaves it dense and hard-wearing for daily use. This cup goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a cooled coffee or clearing up after guests needs no special care. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so the speckle on each cup falls differently and no two are quite alike. For styling, set it on a wooden tray beside a teapot, or line several along an open shelf, where the speckled glaze shows best against a plain wall.
