Description
Paula is a stoneware mug with a round, almost ball-shaped body, a loop handle and a reactive glaze in green that gives way to a darker, speckled band around its lower part. It holds 410ml, which makes it a proper large mug rather than a small coffee cup, with room for a full tea with milk or a generous hot chocolate. It stands 8.5cm tall and measures 10.5cm across, so it is wider than it is tall, and it weighs 0.37KG.
It suits the first coffee of the morning at the kitchen table, a tea at the desk or a slow weekend breakfast in bed. A low, wide form is harder to knock over than a tall one, which helps on a bedside table or a crowded tray. Because it can go in the microwave, a drink that has gone cold can be warmed again in the mug itself, and as it can go in the oven too, it doubles as a dish for a single baked pudding. It makes a warm present for anyone who likes their drinks large.
The body is 100% stoneware, a dense clay that holds the warmth of a hot drink well. A fine crackle runs through the green glaze, and because reactive glazes shift as they fire, the line where the green meets the darker base varies from one piece to the next. Inside, the glaze is smooth and glossy. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. For a relaxed kitchen, keep it with other glazed stoneware on an open shelf, or hang a few from hooks by the kettle so the round bodies and loop handles stay within easy reach.
