Description
Paula is a round stoneware cup that holds 275ml, enough for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee without a refill. It measures 9cm across and 8cm tall, so the body is nearly as tall as it is wide. That gives it an almost ball-like shape that sits comfortably in cupped hands. A reactive glaze in pink runs down from the rim in fine streaks and fades towards the base, and a small ring handle loops out from one side. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well, which suits slow drinks on cold mornings.
This is a cup for everyday use rather than for best. It belongs on the kitchen counter beside the kettle, at the breakfast table, or on a desk for a mid-morning coffee. The rounded body invites you to wrap both hands around it, which makes it a good choice for anyone who likes to warm their hands on a hot chocolate or an evening tea. At 0.26KG it is light enough to carry from room to room. Its easy size also makes it a thoughtful gift for a friend who drinks tea all day, or one of a pair on a breakfast tray.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware and finished with a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so no two pieces come out quite alike, and the streaks on yours will follow their own pattern. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave, and it can go in the oven too. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed look, hang a few rounded cups on hooks above the kettle, or line them along an open shelf where the glaze catches the light.
