Description: Wheelthrown extra large tea or coffee cup in toasty stoneware glazed in eau de nil silky glaze inside and half-glazed exterior. Can be matched with small bowls, dishes, teapots extra large tea or coffee cups and a range of small medium and large jugs. All the pieces are hand thrown on a kick wheel, small variations in size and shape are part of this hand made process and the glazing is all by hand too so slight variations in tone and colour are a natural result. This adds to the unique character of each lovingly made item. My perfect morning coffee cup I wanted to make a cup that I can drink my caf au lait out of in the morning a good 400ml worth of strong milky coffee to set you up for the day! It had to look good in any kitchen and feel great to hold and if you really want to go all au franais you can even dip your croissant in it. It took many experiments to perfect this form the edge of rim has to be right both in the thickness of the clay and the glaze that touches the lips. I love the unexpected toasting of the clay as the silky smooth glaze and raw pot fuse in the kiln, some magic occurs, tingeing the clay with a warm rich hue. With small changes in the amounts of colouring oxide this glaze will vary from eau de nil (as these are) to duck egg blue, cloud grey or even a teal green. Can be used in a microwave, please take care as the piece can get warm Can be washed in a dishwasher but you may prefer to hand wash them.
