Espresso Cup and Saucer - Chocolate Black

Small matt chocolate black espresso cup and accompanying saucer. Both the cup and saucer have a brick red glaze which reacts with the manganese in the clay creating a velvety chocolate colouring. The cup has a shallow footring on the base. The saucer is a flat disc shape with a footring on the base. Both have my makers mark impressed on them on the base. The cup and saucer were thrown by hand on the pottery wheel. The small handle was attached afterwards before the first firing in the kiln. It is small but still comfy enough to hold for a small volume of coffee. The cup can be placed anywhere on the saucer as there is no indent in which to place it. The black clay is called Vulcan Black and has a fine texture. The cups will comfortably hold 60ml of coffee - enough for a double espresso. Size: Cup - 5.5cm tall, 5.5cm wide not including handle (8cm wide including handle). Saucer - 10cm diameter.
