Description
This is a set of four stoneware cups, each with its own saucer, handpainted with a floral pattern of leafy sprigs and small flowers. The cup has a wide, open bowl that flares gently up to a painted rim, a neat looped handle and a fine scatter of speckles across the surface, while the saucer has a softly faceted edge rather than a plain circle. At 219ml, each cup is a true tea cup or a cup for a milky coffee: more generous than an espresso cup, yet smaller than a mug. The measurements given are 15cm across and 7.5cm tall.
Four cups and saucers make this an easy choice for a small household, or for laying the table when friends come round for tea. The pattern of leaves and flowers brings a garden feel to the breakfast table even in winter, yet it sits comfortably beside plain plates and a simple teapot. It suits a slow weekend morning, an afternoon tea with cake, or a kitchen dresser where the cups can rest on their saucers between uses. For someone who prefers their tea in a cup and saucer rather than a mug, it makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present.
The set is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well and feels reassuringly solid. The floral pattern is handpainted, which gives each sprig a loose, brushy quality that a printed pattern does not have. Care is simple: the cups and saucers go in the dishwasher, in the microwave for warming a drink and in the oven too. For styling, lay the cups and saucers out on a plain linen cloth and let the pattern carry the table, or stack the saucers on an open shelf with the cups beside them.
