Description
There’s something about drinking tea from a proper ceramic cup and saucer that makes you feel like you’re out enjoying a fancy afternoon tea somewhere posh. I think this tea set is a lovely way of creating your own teatime ritual at home, whether you’re enjoying a big cup on your own or sharing a pot of tea with a friend.
How big is it?
This hand-thrown cup is made slightly larger than your average tea cup to give you a proper cuppa you can really take your time to enjoy.
The handmade process
Each of these hand-thrown ceramic cups is glazed inside and out with a shiny white glaze that highlights the natural speckle of the clay. I then dip the bottom half of the outside in one of four of my glaze combos. Finally, the bottom of the cup is wiped clean to leave an unglazed rim, creating a lovely contrast in textures where the clay shows through at the bottom. Hazy Skyline is a gentle blend of dusky blue-grey with earthy brown tones, which reminds me of the skyline at dawn.
The saucers are shaped on the wheel and glazed on the top with my classic white. The clay on the underside is left unglazed, so you get that lovely contrast in texture of the rough, natural clay and the smooth, velvety glaze.
Because they’re hand-thrown on my potter’s wheel in my Wiltshire studio, each ceramic cup and saucer is completely one-of-a-kind, but that’s what I love about handmade ceramics.
Looking for a handmade gift?
A handmade cup and saucer makes such a thoughtful gift for any tea lover. A lovely birthday present, Mother’s Day gift, or ‘just because’, it’s a present that shows you’ve thought about the little comforts they love to enjoy. And, if you’re looking for a housewarming gift or wedding present, you could create a set of two, four or six for a luxury gift they will easily use every day.
If you are buying this handmade ceramic cup and saucer as a present and want me to wrap it for you, simply select the ‘Gift Wrap’ option once it’s in your cart, and I’ll ensure it’s beautifully packaged so it’s ready for you to gift straight away.
