The shape
Each Espresso Cup is thrown on the wheel with a compact body and thumb and finger indents pressed into the sides for grip, sized for a short, strong coffee, then turned and finished by hand the next day.
The glaze
Blue over a soft sand, drawn from walking the gritstone edges above Macclesfield. On a clear day the rock reads grey-blue against dry bracken, and that is the pairing here, a warmer blue than Cornflower, set on a soft, sandy base.
6.5cm tall, 6.5cm across · Holds approximately 100ml
Every piece is thrown and finished by hand, so small differences in shape, glaze movement, colour and texture are part of its unique character.
