Start your day strong with this handmade espresso cup in speckled clay and Vals Turquoise glaze! Whether it’s a rich espresso, double shot, or tiny lungo, this cup is perfect for your daily brew."

How it has been made

Each espresso cup starts as a lump of high-quality beige stoneware clay, carefully thrown on the wheel to create its form. Once it reaches the leather-hard stage, I engrave the delicate floral design by hand. After drying, the cup is bisque-fired at 980°C, glazed with a food-safe glossy finish, and high-fired at 1220°C. This final step ensures strength, durability, and a beautiful glossy finish. 

Handmade by me, Luna, with care and love, each item is truly one of a kind. Slight variations in size, color, and design mean your item is as unique as you are. Thank you for supporting my small business! By choosing this handmade piece, you’re adding a touch of artistry and warmth to your home.

Care Instructions:

Wash Instructions: Handwashing is best to maintain their beauty, but they’re also dishwasher-safe. We get it—life can get busy! If you choose the dishwasher, just load them with care to avoid any bumps or scrapes.

Temperature Changes: Our cups are food-safe and waterproof, perfect for all your favorite beverages! However, to keep your cup in top condition, avoid sudden temperature shifts—like going straight from iced drinks to hot coffee. Rapid changes can cause cracks or breaks in the ceramic.

Staining: The bottoms of these ceramics are unglazed, making them prone to staining. If any residue gets on the bottom, wash it away right away to prevent stains.
