Description
This is a set of four round stoneware cups in cream, each holding 275ml and measuring 9cm across and 8cm tall. The body swells into an almost ball-like shape with a neat loop handle on one side, and a speckled band of reactive glaze runs around the middle of every cup. At 275ml each cup takes a full serving of tea or a milky coffee, so this is an everyday cup for proper drinks rather than a dainty espresso piece. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which suits a slow morning brew.
Set four places at the breakfast table, or keep the cups together on an open kitchen shelf, where the rounded shape and soft cream glaze look calm and homely. They suit a household of four, a couple who like a spare pair for guests, or friends round for coffee on a weekend afternoon. Fill one with tea for a quiet moment at the desk, carry a pair out to the garden table on a warm evening, or line them up on a tray beside a teapot when visitors call.
Each cup is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the speckled band varies a little from cup to cup and every piece carries its own character. Care is easy: the cups go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so reheating a cooling coffee or clearing up after a long breakfast takes no extra thought. For styling, pair them with plain white plates and a wooden board, or hang them by their loop handles from a row of hooks, so the speckled glaze has room to show.

Each cup holds 275ml, which is enough for a full serving of tea or a milky coffee, so it suits everyday drinking rather than small espresso servings.
