Description
This is a big, rounded stoneware mug that holds 500ml, finished in a speckled blue reactive glaze. Its body swells out like a ball and draws in a little at the rim, so it is easy to cup in both hands, and a generous loop handle gives a firm grip when it is full. The glaze is the reason to choose it: a fine speckle runs across the blue, deepening to a darker band around the rim, with a gentle sheen where the light catches it. The mug measures 10.5cm across and 9.5cm tall, and it weighs 0.346KG.
At 500ml this is a mug for one long drink rather than a quick cup: a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. It also works as a bowl for soup at your desk or porridge first thing in the morning. Keep it by the kettle as your everyday mug, put it out on the breakfast table, or give it to the person in your house who always wants a bigger cup than the cupboard offers. The soft blue sits easily beside natural wood, linen and plain stoneware.
The mug is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and it is dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe. In practice it goes straight in the dishwasher after breakfast, a drink that has gone cold can be warmed through in the microwave, and it can go in the oven for a single-portion mug cake or baked pudding. A reactive glaze settles a little differently each time it is fired, so the speckle and depth of colour on your mug will be its own. It looks best used every day rather than saved for guests: pair two on a wooden tray for a slow weekend breakfast. The styling props shown are not included.
