Lower and wider than the coffee cup, this tea cup pairs a round bowl with a square saucer for a gently nostalgic feel. The broad opening shows the tea's colour beautifully, adding another pleasure to teatime.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, serve black tea with apple tart or butter cake. After dinner, share herbal tea and talk about the day. Simply setting out a cup and saucer makes the moment more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
The wide opening and low shape also suit soup. Try pumpkin soup at breakfast or a small mushroom soup to begin dinner. Served with its saucer, an everyday soup becomes an elegant starter. A versatile cup for tea and meals, and a lovely gift.<\/p>\n
SP\u00c4LA traces its design to ceramic designer Shunsuke Kobayashi\u2019s journey to Helsinki. POTPURRI revived the Sonare collection by Miyama, a ceramics maker in Gifu. The white porcelain is fired at high temperature in Gifu, and the ultramarine took many trials to perfect. Twenty years on, the shapes still bring a quiet sense of occasion to an everyday table.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
