Woodsby Wavy Stoneware Cups 280ml Set of 4 - Green

These are four stoneware cups, each holding 280ml and painted by hand in green, with a wavy pattern that runs from rim to base and reads very much like the grain of a cut log. The lines stand slightly proud of the surface, so you can feel the pattern under your fingers as well as see it. Each cup is 9.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a low, broad body that narrows gently towards the rim and a generous loop handle that leaves room for your fingers. At 280ml it is a roomy tea or coffee cup rather than a big mug. Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well.

We think of these as everyday cups for the kitchen table: the first tea of the morning, a milky coffee mid-afternoon, a hot chocolate on a cold evening. With four in the set, there is one each for a household of four, or enough to put on the table when friends visit for coffee. The green and the grain-like pattern sit happily alongside oak, linen and houseplants, and the cups look just as much at home on a bedside table or beside a favourite armchair as in the kitchen. They also make a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone who likes tableware with a little character.

The cups are 100% stoneware with a handpainted finish, and the glaze has a glossy sheen that catches the light along each raised line. Inside, each cup is left plain, so the strength of your tea or coffee is easy to judge. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so there is no need to set them aside for washing by hand. For styling, line all four along an open kitchen shelf with the handles facing the same way, or mix them with plain cups so the pattern draws the eye.
