Description
Our Shama cup is made from 100% stoneware and decorated by hand, so each piece is unique. Its multicoloured pattern centres on a large arch of nested painted stripes across the front. An arc of round dots and slim petal strokes frames the arch, short brushed blocks run around the rim and more dots continue along the handle. It holds 270ml, a generous everyday size for tea or coffee. It measures 8.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a body that widens gently towards the base and a rounded loop handle. It weighs 0.25KG.
This is a cup for daily use: the first coffee of the morning at the kitchen table, a pot of tea shared in the afternoon, a hot chocolate on a cold evening. It suits anyone who would rather drink from something painted by hand than from plain tableware, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a housewarming, a birthday or a friend who loves hand-painted ceramics. Because the decoration is applied by hand, no two cups match exactly, and that small variation is part of the charm when a few sit side by side on an open kitchen shelf or a breakfast tray.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature into a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and it holds heat well. The maker states that this cup can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it washes up with the rest of the everyday crockery and a cooled coffee can be warmed again in the microwave. Each piece is hand decorated, so the brushwork varies a little from one cup to the next. For a relaxed table, set it on a woven mat or a plain linen napkin and let the painted pattern bring the colour.
