Description
Paula is a round stoneware mug with a generous 410ml capacity, big enough for a proper mug of tea with milk or a long morning coffee. Its body is almost a ball in shape, 10.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, so it sits low and wide and is easy to cup in both hands. A neat loop handle rises from one side, and the body is finished in a cream reactive glaze flecked with fine speckles that gather more densely towards the foot. It weighs 0.37KG.
This is an everyday mug for the kitchen, the breakfast table or the desk. Use it for tea, coffee or hot chocolate on a cold evening, or for a small portion of soup when a full bowl would be too much. Its low, rounded shape suits a slow weekend breakfast as well as a quick drink between jobs, and the cream glaze sits easily beside wood, linen and other stoneware. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a soft, natural-looking glaze and a big drink first thing in the morning.
It is made entirely of stoneware. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at high temperature, and it holds heat well. A reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the speckle and depth of tone vary a little from one piece to the next, and yours will carry its own pattern. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so warming a coffee that has gone cold takes no effort. For an easy styling idea, keep a few on an open shelf near the kettle with the handles turned the same way, so the speckled glaze is on show and a mug is always within reach.
