Description
This is a round stoneware cup in cream, with a softly speckled band of reactive glaze circling its middle and a generous looped handle on one side. It holds 275ml, a proper everyday measure for a full cup of tea or a milky coffee, so it does the job of a mug while keeping the gentler, rounded shape of a cup. It measures 9cm across and 8cm tall, which makes the body a little wider than it is high and comfortable to cradle in both hands. Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic that holds heat well.
We think of it as a cup for every day rather than one kept for best. It belongs at the breakfast table, on a desk through a long working day, or beside the sofa with a hot chocolate in the evening. At 0.26KG it is light to lift, and the round body and open handle make it easy to hand to a guest. The cream tone sits happily beside plain white or wooden tableware, and a few of them hung on hooks or lined up on an open kitchen shelf look cheerful between uses. It also makes a thoughtful small gift for a tea or coffee lover.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. Reactive glazes shift and pool as they fire, so the speckle and the edge of the band vary from piece to piece, and no two cups match exactly. Care is easy, because it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven: straight into the dishwasher after breakfast, or into the microwave to rewarm a coffee left too long on the desk. To finish the look, pair it with linen napkins and a wooden board for a calm, natural table, or let its speckled glaze bring a little texture to a shelf of plainer crockery.
