Octagonal Ceramic Coffee Cup and Saucer with Peony Pattern

An eight-sided body sets this cup apart from the round shapes that fill most cupboards. The facets catch light differently around the rim, and the shape gives the hand something to hold rather than a smooth curve to grip, which makes the cup feel deliberate rather than incidental.

A peony pattern runs across the ceramic in a retro register, paired with a matching saucer. At 240ml the capacity suits a flat white or a pour-over without leaving the cup half empty, and the piece has real weight to it, sitting steadily on the table rather than sliding when stirred. It arrives in a printed box, which makes it straightforward to give as it is.

The proportions suit a home kitchen, a café table or a tea house equally. Available as a cup and saucer set or as a single cold drink cup, without a lid.
