Shama Stoneware Cups 270ml Set of 6 - Multi

We have six stoneware cups here, each holding 270ml and each decorated by hand, so no two are quite alike. That capacity is a generous everyday size, right for a proper mug of tea or a large milky coffee rather than a small espresso. Each cup is 8.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a compact, rounded body and a loop handle. The multicoloured pattern runs all the way round: a row of painted blocks at the rim, a curve of dots and short brushed strokes, and a broad band of nested arches over the lower half, with a line of dots along the handle.

Having six together covers the morning tea round for a busy household, or a table of guests after Sunday lunch, without odd cups from the back of the cupboard. They suit a kitchen with open shelving, where the pattern stays on show between uses, and they make a cheerful gift for someone setting up a first home. Because they go in the microwave, a coffee that has gone cold while you answered the door can be warmed straight in the cup. They are just as much at home on a desk for a mid-morning drink.

Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well. These cups go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so they can be washed alongside the rest of the everyday crockery with no special handling. Because each piece is decorated by hand, expect small differences in the brushwork and the placing of the pattern from cup to cup; that variation is the mark of the hand, not a fault. For a practical display, hang the six on a row of hooks beneath a shelf, or line them up on an open shelf with the handles facing the same way, and keep plain crockery nearby so the pattern does the talking.

How much does each cup hold?

Each cup holds 270ml, a generous everyday size for a full cup of tea or a large coffee, more than a small espresso cup.

Can the cups go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. The maker states they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and in the oven too, so they suit everyday kitchen use.

How big are the cups?

Each cup is 8.5cm across and 8cm tall, a compact, rounded shape that sits comfortably on a shelf or a desk.

What material are the cups?

They are 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and each one is decorated by hand.

Will all six cups look exactly the same?

Not exactly. Each piece is decorated by hand, which makes every cup unique, so expect small differences in the brushwork from one cup to the next.

How many cups are included?

You receive six cups, each carrying the same multicoloured pattern of painted blocks, dots and nested arches, decorated by hand.
