This is a cute little espresso set, with an espresso cup set into a matching saucer. The item includes a brass teaspoon, which sits in the groove in the saucer.
The set comes in my three signature finishes: a speckled cream; an ombre effect forest green overlapping with cream; and an overlapping navy blue and white.
The espresso cup measures approximately 6.5cm at the top and 5.5cm at the bottom. The height is approximately 7cm and capacity is 80ml, to take a double espresso. The saucer is the right size to add a biscotti or amaretti biscuit (not included with the sale!)
Each set is handmade by me in my studio in Cornwall, using stoneware clay and food safe glazes.
‘Trelowen’ means happy place or home in Cornish and it is my hope that this piece brings you a little happiness in your home.
All pieces are individually made by hand in small batches so there may be slight variation and differences in shape, size and glaze from piece to piece. For me, this is part of the charm of owning hand made and completely unique items.
Caring for your pottery:
Looked after properly, your ceramics should last for years – as mine do! But please bear in mind they are ceramics and can break, so please handle your pieces with care to avoid breakages.
Each item is high-fired stoneware, using food-safe glazes. Whilst they are dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to extend the lifespan of your piece. Microwaving is not recommended.
Packaging:
I NEVER buy new plastic packaging – any bubble wrap used in my postage is having a second life. Please give it even more life by reusing it yourself. Any packaging I buy is from recycled materials and is fully recyclable itself (the packing ‘beans’ are made from starch and dissolve in water).
