Description
Our Paula mug is a plump, generous stoneware mug that holds 410ml, with a body that swells out like a ball and a round loop handle set on one side. It measures 10.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, so it sits low and wide on the table rather than tall and narrow. The orange reactive glaze runs as a fine speckle over the whole piece, gathering into a denser band around the middle, and the inside is glazed smooth as well.
At 410ml this is a proper large mug rather than a coffee cup, with room for a big tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold morning. The rounded body rests easily in a cupped palm, which makes it a natural choice for the first drink of the day at the kitchen table or a slow cup in a favourite armchair. Between uses it looks at home on a kitchen dresser or an open wooden shelf, and it makes a thoughtful present for a tea or coffee lover.
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, and finished in a reactive glaze. Reactive glazes change as they fire, so no two pieces carry quite the same speckle, and that small variation is part of the appeal. Looking after it is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can be washed straight after breakfast and used to warm a drink that has gone cold. It weighs 0.37KG. For a relaxed table, set it out on a linen runner with wooden boards, where the orange speckle brings a little warmth to a quiet morning.
