Description
This is a white stoneware Christmas cup with a fir tree embossed into its side, so the design is felt as much as seen. It holds 300ml, a generous size for a proper cup of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, and it is 8.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, with straight sides and a rounded loop handle. It weighs 0.27KG. The tree is raised in the same white as the rest of the cup, which keeps it quiet: a festive touch rather than a loud one, and a cup you will reach for well past Christmas Day.
Use it at the Christmas breakfast table, for a warm drink after a cold walk, or on the long December evenings when holding something hot in both hands is half the pleasure. Because it is plain white, it sits easily alongside the everyday tableware you already own, so it does not need a matching table around it to look right. We think it makes a thoughtful small gift for someone who likes their Christmas pieces understated, and between uses it looks just as good on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser as it does tucked away in a cupboard.
The cup is made entirely of stoneware, and it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so warming up a coffee that has gone cold or clearing up after a houseful of guests is no extra trouble. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, which suits a cup that will be used every day of the Christmas break and long after. For a simple winter display, line a few along a shelf with the trees facing outwards, or set one on a tray beside a sprig of greenery and a plate of something sweet.
