An elegant cup with clean lines and harmonious curves.

Inspired by old cups once made for Europe and the United States, this new shape has been reimagined with modern elements. Very light for its size, it is easy to hold thanks to its sturdy handle and fine material. Made from durable stoneware, this cup is highly practical. Its grey-blue color features a pleasant texture reminiscent of copper rust. The subtle hues created during kiln firing—where brown, blue, and white blend together—are unique and form a beautiful pattern on the surface of the cup. This cup is perfect for an elegant table setting.
