Description
These are four handpainted stoneware cups, each holding 400ml and measuring 10cm across and 8.5cm tall. The body is full and rounded, almost a ball in profile, and every cup is covered in a repeating floral and tile-style motif, finished with a handle in a contrasting colour for a multicoloured look that brightens a plain table. At 400ml they are generous cups, roomy enough for a proper builder's tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, so they do the work of a mug while keeping the softer outline of a cup.
With four in the set, they suit a household of four, whether that means breakfast in the kitchen, a slow weekend brunch or an afternoon pot of tea with friends. The wide mouth and low, round body make them easy to cradle in both hands on a cold morning, and they sit comfortably on a bedside table or beside the sofa for a long evening drink. Because they hold 400ml, they also work well for a cup of soup or a small helping of porridge on days when a full bowl feels too big.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, and on these cups each motif is painted by hand. For everyday care they go in the dishwasher, and they can go in the oven too, which makes them handy for baking individual puddings or eggs. They are not for the microwave, so warm milk or soup in a pan first. On the table, pair them with plain plates and linen napkins in one quiet tone, so the handpainted pattern stays the part that catches the eye, or hang all four from hooks on an open shelf where they read as a cheerful run of pattern.
