Description
This is a rounded stoneware cup that sits somewhere between a teacup and a mug: it holds 275ml, enough for a generous tea or a milky coffee, yet it stands only 8cm tall and 9cm across. The body swells out like a small globe and draws in slightly at the rim, and a round loop handle stands off one side. A glossy yellow glaze covers the top of the cup and runs down in an uneven, wavy line, giving way to a rougher, textured lower band. It is made entirely of stoneware and weighs 0.37KG.
Its natural home is the breakfast table, but it is just as happy beside you on a desk through the morning or on the arm of the sofa at the weekend. The 275ml capacity suits tea, coffee with milk, hot chocolate or a small serving of soup on a cold evening, and the rounded body is easy to cup in both hands. Stoneware holds heat well, and a squat shape like this one feels homely in a way a tall mug rarely does. It suits anyone who likes a cup that feels substantial without being bulky, and it makes a cheerful gift for a tea drinker or a friend moving into a first home.
The finish is a reactive glaze. Reactive glazes move and change in the kiln, so the way the yellow pools and breaks varies a little from one cup to the next. Day to day it asks very little: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven too, so reheating a forgotten coffee is no trouble. For styling, pair it with plain linen and pale wood, where the yellow has room to glow, or keep a few on an open shelf as a bright display between uses.

Frequently Asked
How much does the Paula cup hold?
It holds 275ml, a generous serving of tea, coffee or hot chocolate in a cup that stands only 8cm tall.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so reheating a drink in the cup is simple.
What material is it?
It is made of 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze. Stoneware holds heat well, and the reactive glaze means the yellow settles slightly differently on each cup.
How big is it?
It is 9cm across and 8cm tall, with a rounded body and a round loop handle, and it weighs 0.37KG.
Can I use it for soup?
Yes. At 275ml it takes a small serving of soup, and because it can go in the microwave, warming it through in the cup is easy.
Is it sold as a single cup?
Yes. You receive one stoneware cup with its loop handle; the styling props shown are not included.
