Whether you are drawn to it as a minimal ceramic mug for your morning espresso or as an atmospheric candle holder for your evening bath, you likely have a few questions about how to best use and care for this unique piece. Here is our comprehensive FAQ and care guide.
FAQ 1: What makes a kiln-turned ceramic cup different?
Unlike mass-produced, uniform drinkware, a fire glazed ceramic cup features a kiln-turned finish. This means the glaze reacts naturally to the high heat of the kiln, creating subtle variations in texture and color. Crafted from durable stoneware, this 150ml cup boasts a robust, earthy feel that retains heat exceptionally well, making it the perfect ceramic cup for coffee or tea.
FAQ 2: Can I really use it for both hot beverages and as a candle holder?
Absolutely. The beauty of high-quality stoneware is its thermal shock resistance.
* **As a Coffee Cup:** Its 150ml capacity is ideal for a rich flat white, cortado, or a mindful pour-over tasting. The thick stoneware walls keep your beverage warmer for longer.
* **As a Candle Holder:** The scarlet finish and romantic silhouette make it a stunning vessel for pillar candles or tealights. The stoneware safely contains the heat of the wax, adding a warm, ambient glow to your bathroom or living space.
FAQ 3: How do I care for my stoneware ceramic cup?
To ensure your handmade ceramic cup lasts a lifetime, follow these simple care steps:
1. **Gentle Washing:** While stoneware is highly durable, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to preserve the delicate kiln-turned glaze.
2. **Avoid Extreme Temperature Shocks:** Do not move the cup directly from a freezing environment into boiling water. Allow it to come to room temperature first.
3. **Removing Wax:** If you use it as a candle holder, allow leftover wax to harden completely. Place the cup in the freezer for 20 minutes; the wax will shrink and pop out easily. Wash away any residue with warm water.
