The best gifts are the ones that balance beautiful form with everyday function.
We want to give something that looks like a standalone piece of sculptural art on an open kitchen shelf, but is sturdy enough to use daily without a second thought. This Ink-Spot cup does exactly that, making it the perfect, stress-free gift for the coffee lover in your life (or a well-deserved treat for yourself).
The clever 'V' shape acts as a flavour enhancer: the flared lip directs a crisp espresso or specialty pour-over straight to the front of the tongue. This bypasses the bitter taste receptors at the back of the mouth, instantly highlighting the complex, bright, and fruity notes of the coffee beans.
An organic, speckled finish The Ink-Spot White glaze is completely mesmerising. It features a soft, satin-white base coat overlaid with a delicate, smoky grey speckle that mimics ink dropping and clouding into water. Because the pattern forms entirely at random inside the firing process, your cup is a completely unique piece of pottery that nobody else will ever own.

Because I work in very small, intentional batches, there may be times when an item is out of stock; if so, I will happily hand-craft your piece to order, a slow-made process that typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks from the wheel to the kiln.
