Description
This rounded stoneware cup holds 275ml and wears a reactive glaze in blue. Its body swells out like a small globe before drawing in again at the rim, and a round loop handle sits neatly on one side. The glaze is speckled across the body and darkens to a deeper tone at the rim and along the handle, which gives the cup a crisp outline. It stands 8cm tall and measures 8.5cm across, a size that sits comfortably cupped in both hands as well as held by the handle, and it weighs 0.324KG.
At 275ml it holds a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee, more than an espresso or cortado cup and close to what most people expect from an everyday mug. It is at home on the breakfast table, beside the bed with a morning brew, or on the sofa with a hot chocolate in the evening. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits slow sipping. Because it goes in the microwave, a coffee that has gone cold can be warmed again in the cup itself, and as it can also go in the oven, it will bake a single portion of pudding or crumble. It makes a thoughtful gift for a tea drinker, or a reliable everyday cup for your own kitchen.
The finish is a reactive glaze, a type of glaze that responds to the heat of the kiln as it fires, so the speckling and the depth of blue vary a little from cup to cup. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, so this is a cup for daily use rather than one kept for best. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. For a relaxed table, set it on a linen runner next to wooden boards and lids, where the blue glaze stands out against the natural grain and weave.
