Know before you buy
The raw, unglazed stoneware exterior provides a unique tactile experience, but it is more porous than glazed ceramic. We recommend hand-washing the cup promptly after use to prevent coffee or tea oils from absorbing into the clay.
No, this cup is neither microwave nor dishwasher safe. Due to the hand-thrown nature of the stoneware and the raw exterior finish, we recommend hand-washing only to preserve the integrity of the design.
Yes, the 4 oz capacity is perfectly sized for a standard double espresso or a small cortado. It provides enough room for the coffee and a small amount of steamed milk without being oversized.
Because the cup is crafted from stoneware, it has a natural thickness that helps insulate the contents. While it will feel warm to the touch, the unglazed exterior provides a grippy, earthy texture that makes it comfortable to hold.
No, each cup is individually hand-thrown and hand-painted. You should expect slight variations in the stripe width and placement, which makes every piece a unique work of art.
