Cappuccino Cup Sand

Dimensions: h = 6 cm, ⌀ = 9.3 cm, volume = approx. 180 ml

(Dimensions of received pieces may vary, with a deviation of up to approximately 5 mm)

Hand-thrown and trimmed stoneware mug, fired twice. The first step was bisque firing, followed by a high-temperature glaze firing at 1280 °C. The inside of the cup has a beautifully rounded bottom – I designed it this way intentionally so that coffee flows smoothly into it, without destroying the crema, and milk foam slides smoothly along the walls, making it easier for you to create perfect latte art. The upper part is adorned with a unique, pale glaze that creates a subtle contrast with the exposed, naturally textured clay body at the bottom.

Each piece is entirely handmade, glazed, and fired by hand. Therefore, there will be slight differences in surface character, color transitions, and dimensions between the photograph and the mug you receive. These subtle variations are not flaws – they are precisely what I strive for in my work, as they give each object a sense of individuality and its own soul.

Safety and care:

All my ceramics are made from high-fired stoneware. For this mug, I used a beautiful, creamy-milky satin glaze, whose recipe comes from an article by Christine Ladeveze (published in the renowned French magazine La revue de la céramique et du verre).

The surface is stable and contains no lead, cadmium, or other toxic materials. Thanks to the high firing at 1280 °C, both the clay and the glaze are completely vitrified, ensuring that the mug is highly durable, food-safe, and does not leach any substances.

Liquids such as coffee or black tea may leave a natural patina on the surface over time, and matte glazes like this one can also be more prone to so-called cutlery marks (fine grey streaks left by a metal spoon). This is simply a natural characteristic of such surfaces and is the trade-off for the captivating aesthetic of this matte finish.

We recommend hand washing. Ceramics can be sensitive to high temperatures and harsh detergents in the dishwasher, which may affect their longevity over time. We do not recommend the microwave, even though the ceramics should survive it. Please keep in mind that this is not a mass-produced factory item, but an individual piece of craftsmanship — treat your mug with care.
