Description
These are four stoneware cups, each holding 275ml, a generous size for a morning coffee or a proper cup of tea. Each one is 9cm across and 8cm tall, with a rounded, almost globe-like body that fills two cupped hands and a neat loop handle. A reactive glaze runs in soft bands of grey around the body, and the stripes have the feathered, uneven edges that this kind of glaze gives in the kiln, so they look loose and painterly rather than printed.
With four in the set, they suit a couple or a small household, or a kitchen where visitors are always offered a hot drink. The grey glaze is quiet enough for everyday breakfasts at the kitchen table, yet has enough character for a weekend brunch or an afternoon tea when friends visit. Because the cups can go in the microwave, a coffee that has gone cold while you answered the door can be warmed in its own cup. They also make a thoughtful housewarming present for someone setting up a first kitchen, or a gift for a tea drinker who likes a rounded cup.
The cups are made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which is why it holds heat well and feels solid in the hand. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so the bands on one cup will differ slightly from those on the next; that variation is part of the appeal. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, and the maker lists them for food use. For styling, line them up on an open shelf or hang them from hooks under a cabinet, where the grey bands stay on show every day.

Frequently Asked
How much does each cup hold?
Each cup holds 275ml, a generous size for a coffee or a cup of tea, and stands 8cm tall and 9cm across.
Can the cups go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. They can go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven as well, so warming a drink and washing up are both easy.
What material are the cups?
They are made of 100% stoneware finished in a reactive glaze. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired material that holds heat well for hot drinks.
Will all four cups look exactly the same?
Not exactly. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the grey bands can vary slightly from cup to cup, which gives each one its own character.
