Description
These are four stoneware mugs, each holding 370ml and standing 10cm tall and 9cm across. That capacity makes them proper everyday mugs rather than dainty cups, with room for a big tea with milk or a generous filter coffee. Each one is round, tapering gently towards the rim, with an open loop handle. The glaze is what sets them apart. A reactive glaze runs and pools as it fires, and here it has left soft, painterly swirls across a multicoloured surface, on the inside as well as the outside.
They suit the kitchen table and the desk alike, for the first tea of the morning, a mid-afternoon coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. Four matching mugs cover a small household, or a couple and their guests, so nobody ends up with the odd one when friends visit. The painterly glaze also earns them a place on open shelving or behind a glass cabinet door between uses, and the four make a thoughtful housewarming present for anyone who likes ceramics with a little character.
The mugs are 100% stoneware. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, so it is a sturdy everyday material, and it holds heat well. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they go in the microwave when a coffee has gone cold, and they go in the oven as well, which opens up baked mug puddings and individual crumbles. For styling, keep the rest of the table plain. Natural wood, linen napkins and simple white plates let the swirling glaze carry the look, and a small jug of garden flowers in the middle finishes a relaxed breakfast table.
