Description
This is a round-bellied stoneware cup with a reactive glaze in orange, the colour gathering in a band around the middle and breaking into fine speckles across the lower half and along the handle. It holds 275ml, which makes it a generous cup rather than a big mug: room for a proper tea or a milky coffee. At 9cm across and 8cm tall it sits low and wide, and the round loop handle keeps the outline simple. Because a reactive glaze moves as it fires, the way the orange settles differs a little from cup to cup, so yours will carry its own pattern of speckle and drip.
It suits the everyday cup of tea at the kitchen table, a slow coffee at the weekend or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. The low, rounded body fits nicely between two hands, which makes it a cosy choice for winter mornings. It makes a thoughtful small gift for someone who likes crockery with a little character, and it looks at home on an open shelf or a cup rack, where the glaze stays on show between uses. Its orange glaze sits well with plain linen, warm wood and other speckled stoneware on a breakfast table.
The cup is 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze finish and weighs 0.26KG. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven as well, so reheating a coffee that has gone cold needs no second thought. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which suits a drink taken slowly. To style it, line up a few along a shelf with the handles all facing the same way, or set one on a wooden board beside a plate of biscuits. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
How much does the cup hold?
It holds 275ml, a generous cup for tea or a milky coffee, though smaller than a large mug.
Can it go in the dishwasher and microwave?
Yes. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and the maker also lists it as suitable for the oven.
What size is it?
It is 9cm across and 8cm tall, with a low, rounded body and a round loop handle on one side.
What material is the cup?
It is 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze finish, so the orange speckle varies slightly from one cup to the next.
How heavy is it?
The cup weighs 0.26KG, giving it the solid, settled feel of stoneware without being heavy to lift.
Is every cup glazed exactly the same?
No. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the band and speckle of orange differ a little on each cup.
