Description
Paula is a round stoneware mug that holds 410ml, a full-size mug for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate. Its body is almost a ball, 10.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, so it sits low and wide, with a loop handle on one side. The reactive glaze runs round it in wavy bands of grey, one at the rim and one round the middle, with paler speckled bands between them and at the base. Inside, the glaze settles into a quiet, lightly speckled grey.
This is a mug for every day: the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table, a coffee at the desk, a hot chocolate on the sofa on a cold evening. The round body suits anyone who likes to cup a hot drink in both hands, and between uses it looks at home on an open kitchen shelf, where the banded glaze earns its place. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a slow cup, and this one weighs 0.37KG. It would make a warm, practical gift for a tea or coffee drinker.
It is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it is fired, so the bands, the speckle and the depth of grey vary a little from one piece to the next, and yours will be its own. Care is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can warm through in the microwave, go to the table and finish the day in the dishwasher. On the shelf, stand it beside plainer stoneware in quiet tones so the glaze has room to show, or keep a pair on a tray for tea for two.
