~ What better way to start the day than enjoying your expresso in a handmade cup 

~ Contains approx: 100ml

~ Each piece is handcrafted on a pottery wheel in France 🇫🇷. Each piece is truly unique, and the artisanal nature of the creation gives it a particular charm. 👐🏻 The clay is 100% stoneware fired at high temperature (over 1200°C!) and glazed by hand.

~ Please note that approximate dimensions vary as each piece is unique. 📏

~ 🧽 This piece is dishwasher safe, but to preserve the shine of the glaze for many years, hand washing is recommended. It is not microwave safe.

~ By purchasing ceramics handmade by an independent artist, like Charlotte (myself) ✋🏻, you are guaranteed to own a truly unique product!

~ 📦 Packaging: I strive to make the most of the packaging provided to me by small local businesses. With this in mind, I mainly use cardboard and paper so you can recycle most of the packaging. And the packing peanuts are made from biodegradable cornstarch that dissolves in water or are compostable. Exceptionally for shipping small items, I sometimes use plastic bubble envelopes, as they offer superior protection.

~ What are ceramics?

Ceramics constitute all pieces made from clay transformed by ceramic firing. There are several types of clay from which artisanal ceramics can be made: earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.

So that an artisanal ceramic can accompany you for many years, the stoneware undergoes firing at high temperatures which makes it solid for everyday ceramic use.

~ The difference between pottery and ceramics?

To make the distinction between pottery and ceramics a little clearer I will take examples:

A stoneware bowl is pottery because it is shaped like a pot.

A stoneware bird sculpture is ceramic but it is not pottery, because it is not pot-shaped.

So all pots are ceramics, but not all ceramics are pots.

~ Everyday artisanal ceramics

The artisanal pottery made in my ceramic workshop is made of stoneware fired at high temperature and fits perfectly into everyday life with a family. In fact, stoneware ceramic tableware is shock resistant and dishwasher safe. I offer lots of models of artisanal pottery that change with the seasons: ceramic cups, ceramic bowls, ceramic spoon rests, ceramic mugs and ceramic strainer bowls. And there is also a category dedicated to interior decoration ceramics and ceramics for the bathroom.
