Description
This is a handleless stoneware cup that holds 195ml, which makes it a coffee or tea cup rather than a mug: the right size for a flat white, a cortado or a proper cup of tea. It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze, with a band of orange that drifts and speckles across the body. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, and with no handle you cradle it in both hands, which is half the pleasure of a hot drink on a cold morning.
It belongs on the kitchen table, a breakfast tray or a desk, anywhere coffee is taken in small, regular cups through the day. As the maker lists it as food safe, it works just as well for a portion of yoghurt, a few olives or a scoop of nuts, and a row of them makes a relaxed spread when friends visit. Its size suits anyone who prefers a shorter drink to a large mug, and its plain, rounded shape sits easily beside the plates and bowls already in your cupboard.
Care is simple: the maker lists it as dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it can go straight into the dishwasher after breakfast and into the microwave when a coffee has gone cold. A reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the speckle and the line of orange vary from piece to piece, and no two cups come out quite alike. At 0.18KG it sits lightly in the hand. For styling, group two or three on a wooden tray beside a small plate of biscuits and let the orange glaze bring colour to a plain table. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 195ml, which is a coffee or tea cup size rather than a mug, ideal for a flat white or a cup of tea.
What is the cup made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze. Stoneware is dense, holds heat well and feels solid in the hand.
Can it go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven?
Yes to all three. The maker lists it as dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so reheating a cooled coffee or clearing up after breakfast is easy.
Does the cup have a handle?
No. It is a handleless cup with a rounded body, so you hold it in your hands, the way a tumbler or a tea bowl is held.
Is every cup glazed exactly the same?
No. A reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the orange band and the speckle vary slightly from one cup to the next.
