STC Shell Organic Stoneware Cup

Beautifully Crafted and Functional

From the moment I unboxed the STC cup “Shell”, I was captivated by its minimal and natural organic aesthetic. Each cup is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into LaimaCeramics’ work.

Exceptional Quality

The grey stoneware is high-fired to 1260°C, making these cups incredibly durable and non-porous. This means they are perfect for regular use and stand the test of time. The outside of the cup has a raw, natural stoneware finish, while the inside features a beautiful beige glaze with a unique crystalline/crackle pattern. This slight unevenness and natural look add to the charm and authenticity of each piece.

Unique and Handmade

One of the most delightful aspects of these cups is their uniqueness. Each one varies slightly in size and glaze pattern, making every piece one-of-a-kind. The handmade quality is evident, with small imperfections like spots or drips from the glaze process adding character. This is truly a piece that celebrates the art of pottery.

Practical and Eco-Friendly

These cups are not only beautiful but also practical. They are dishwasher safe and free from lead and cadmium, ensuring they are safe for everyday use. Additionally, LaimaCeramics’ commitment to being plastic-free and using mostly paper and card for packaging is commendable. It’s wonderful to see a brand that cares about the environment.

Delivery and Care

The delivery was prompt, taking about a week within Europe, and the cups arrived in perfect condition thanks to the double boxing. Each package includes a charming little leaflet in multiple languages, sharing the story behind these wonderful creations.

Overall, the STC cup “Shell” is a stunning piece of functional art. It’s a joy to use daily and brings a touch of elegance to any setting. Highly recommended!
