Description
This round-bellied stoneware cup in grey holds 275ml and measures 8.5cm across and 8cm tall. Its body swells out like a small ball before drawing in again at the rim, and a neat loop handle gives a finger something to hold. A rounded form like this sits naturally in cupped hands on a cold morning. The surface is a speckled reactive glaze that turns darker towards the rim. A reactive glaze shifts in tone as it fires, so no two pieces look quite alike, and that gentle variation is much of the charm. It weighs 0.244KG.
At 275ml it holds a full cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, which makes it a cup for proper drinks rather than a dainty espresso. It suits the breakfast table, a desk through a long working day, or a side table beside an armchair for a quiet half hour with a book. The grey glaze and loose speckle sit easily beside plain plates, wooden boards and other stoneware, so it works as an everyday cup for yourself or as a considered gift for someone who likes well-made, simple pieces in the kitchen.
Stoneware is fired at high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing for daily use. The maker lists this cup for the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can go straight in the dishwasher after breakfast and into the microwave whenever a drink has gone cold. That leaves very little fuss in its care. For a relaxed table, group it with other grey stoneware and let the speckle in the glaze carry the look; on its own, it sits happily on a stack of books beside a reading chair.

It holds 275ml, enough for a full cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate rather than a small espresso.

Yes. The maker lists it for both the dishwasher and the microwave, so it washes with everyday crockery and warms a cooled drink.

Yes. The maker lists the cup for the oven as well, alongside the dishwasher and the microwave, so it handles all three.

It is 8.5cm across and 8cm tall and weighs 0.244KG, a compact, rounded size that sits neatly on a desk or bedside table.
What material is the cup?
It is 100% stoneware finished in a speckled reactive glaze, which gives the grey surface its varied tone and the darker edge at the rim.
