Description
This handleless stoneware cup is glazed in grey, with soft wavy stripes running round it in lighter and darker tones and a deeper band of grey at the rim. It is made from 100% stoneware and holds 195ml, which makes it a coffee or tea cup rather than a mug: the right size for a morning coffee, a cup of tea or a small juice. It measures 7cm across and stands 8cm tall, and at 0.18KG it sits lightly in the hand. With no handle, you hold it cupped in your palms, much as you would a small bowl, and stoneware holds heat well.
It belongs on the breakfast table and the kitchen shelf, and it suits anyone who prefers a quiet, earthy cup to bright everyday china. Use it for the first coffee of the day, for tea in the afternoon or for water and juice at dinner, and it is just as at home on a desk during a working morning. The grey glaze sits easily beside linen, pale wood and other stoneware, so it looks right at a relaxed weekend brunch and at a plain weekday supper alike. Without a handle it takes up little room in a cupboard. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a coffee lover, paired with a bag of good beans.
The finish is a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the stripes and speckling settle a little differently on every piece. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave and it can go in the oven, so warming up a coffee that has gone cold takes no fuss. For styling, keep a short row of them on an open shelf where the glaze catches the light, or put one on a small plate with a biscuit for an afternoon tray.
